The Philosopher's Guide to Startups: On Quitting

mattangriffel:

Two weeks ago to this day, I quit my job to start my own company. It’s been one of the scariest, strangest, and most exciting things I’ve ever done, so I wanted to write a post to anyone who’s thinking of doing the same. Specifically, I want to help a few of you get a sense of what it’s like…

If you’re thinking of quitting your job to pursue entrepreneurial activities (legal ones of course), let Mattan’s thoughts soak into your brain.

Side note: being your own boss is hard…

About

Hello! I'm Clem.

Connecting ideas to people -- preferably around good food -- lights me up. A mental distillery, of some sort.

I believe that all we want is to be true. To yourself. To other people. To the cosmic universe.

Freedom to be.
Curiosity is growth.
Rebel against normal.
