Do you feel that having a "good" job in the beginning of venturing out on your own is detrimental to you having the drive to succeed in your own biz because you're comfortable? Why / Why not?
By "good" job I mean stable, corporate, full benefits, $40k+/yr, 40 hours/wk doing stimulating work or at least work you like or tolerate. The other option is something like a job waiting tables where you make money to get by, no benefits, job sucks, part-time etc.. With this option you can drop it without any remorse because you dislike it anyway and you're not losing much.
I know the concept to take a job to learn but I see these "good" jobs as almost a crutch because it may make one complacent and unwilling to let go of a "secure" thing.
I can really relate with Sylvester Stallone when he said he wouldn't get a job because he knew it would decrease his hunger.
