How to start? How to put a side family, work and everyday duties and start something on your own?
Bojan, starting on an entrepreneurial journey is never easy. Startups are more like a marathon than a sprint and the only way to run a marathon is to take the first step. For me personally, it was very hard. I was 31 at the time and enjoying a very successful career while having 4 young children and a wife who was a school teacher. I left my job 1 month after 9-11 and a year after the dot-com bubble burst to pursue my dream of becoming a tech entrepreneur.
Anyone can do it. It takes lots of preparation, hard work and saying no to things for a while (sacrifice). Today it has never been easier. Good luck!
Thanks for the reply. I am 36 with 2 kids + 1 on the way. You showed it that it's possible. Now I just need to validate it. ;)
Best of luck with the new baby and with the pursuit of your dream!
