A lot of people seem to think jobs are anti-fastlane. If it's your end goal, then that's probably true. If it's one step in a larger entrepreneurial journey, it may be the best choice.
This is an example of something I ran into from another thread. I thought it would be an interesting discussion:
Yes, but working for others for awhile is sometimes the best option within your longer journey towards entrepreneurship and financial independence. You have to look at a job from a different perspective and not get too comfortable and dependent on that monthly salary.
Some great reasons for taking a job before/while starting your business:
- Get paid to learn and build your skills
- Save up capital to fund your business
- Learn how an industry works
- Learn how a company works(bonus points if it's a startup)
- Learn how to work with people(and deal with company politics)
- Pay your living expenses so you don't starve and stay out of debt.
Think of yourself as a spy. You are trying to learn all you can in a short amount of time so that you can be more successful in your own business venture.
Jobs aren't evil, they're just jobs. It all depends on your perspective and attitude.
