Interesting. I appreciate the response. I take from it, that although I may be currently treading water, and not really finding any success from direct effort, that given enough time, and continued applied effort, something may arise.

Finding that balance is perhaps the hard part. I don't want to let me lack of owning a business now, be a source of unhappiness. Yet, if I let myself become complacent, I may struggle to ever start a business.

Yes, yes, and yes. In my case, i met someone with the idea i believed in. So talk to people, make it known you want to try something.

I had money in the bank to live 12 months without salary, because i always wanted to start my own business, and money helps.

When the opportunity arised, i was ready. It worked out, i got lucky. If it did not, my reasoning was that 12 months later, i would get a better job because of the experience and lessons learned.
