Based on your questions, sounds like you don't have the mental fortitude to be an entrepreneur.

Uncertainty is part of the gig. If you are waiting for uncertainty to minimize or disappear, you'll wait forever.

With this type of thinking, you should stick to the illusive security of a job.
Hey MJ I was curious, what is your opinion on people who don't currently have the mental fortitude to become an entrepreneur or the right qualities, like discipline, focus etc. Would you suggest that they don't get into the entrepreneurship game at all because it's probably not for them, or would you say it's worth working on all those problems to achieve something bigger?
