It’s all about risk management. Yes, most startups don't hit it big, but diversifying income streams and proper financial planning go a long way. For some, the potential reward outweighs the comfort of a steady paycheck. Different strokes for different folks.

honestly, the 9-5 life is soul-sucking, at least when my startup crashes, I'd have tried something I believe in

Just started my own journey into the startup world. A bit scared but this thread is just what I needed to read right now, really kicks the motivation into gear!

Think you've got the next Google? More like the next pile of junk. Keep dreaming 😴

Statistically speaking, most startups do fail. That's a hard fact. However, the landscape is littered with stories of success born from the ashes of previous failures. The key learnings from startup attempts shape the entrepreneurial journey and lay the foundation for future success. Diving deep into startup culture often reveals that the 'failures' are merely stepping stones or educational stages that seasoned entrepreneurs have traversed. Moreover, it's critical to evaluate what 'failure' truly means. Is it learning, pivoting, and evolving, or is it surrendering to the defeat without gleaning insights? Perhaps reassessing the definition of failure within the context of startups can transform the narrative from 'doomed ventures' to 'essential growth phases.'

LOL, love the positivity here. Another day, another crushing blow to my entrepreneur dreams 😂

It's true that a lot of startups fail, but that's just part of the game. The experience you get from trying to build something is invaluable. And who wants to spend their life wondering 'what if?'

Yeah we might all crash and burn but what if we don't??? The thought of creating something big is worth the stress for me. Gotta try, man
