Discussion on: Quit my job—now a Product Maker full-time!

I took the leap a few years ago, here is what I found:

  1. Having a negative revenue startup is more terrifying than a boring full-time job.
  2. When you are desperate to monetize your product, it will not be the "perfect" product anymore.
  3. Reaching a self-sustainable stage is more important than finding investors.

The points above do not apply if:

  1. You have a wealthy family.
  2. Your startup has backed by reputable investors.
  3. Your product has sustainable revenue already.

All the best.

Totally agree! I found the same conclusions after my startup leap.
