If you have a good idea, you may want to start working on it as a side project, keeping your 8-hours job as long as you need.

Even with part-time investment on your project, you will get quite soon a feeling if people are interested in it.

I am not sure I agree with our analysis of employee vs owner though. Actually, owners do not get fired, their business get bankrupt. Probably, it is even worse to be the boss of a bankrupted company than just losing ones job.

If your company bankrupt that will be a win since you learn some lessons but if you get fired you will get troubles to get hired again.

I am not sure what is the greatest stigma, having bankrupted a company or being fired as an employee. In France, the greatest stigma would be on the person having bankrupted a company, which, in some situation, may even lead to legal pursuits.
