Take the Path Less Traveled, Follow Your Dreams

I reflect on what it feels like to walk away from a comfortable career and choose the harder, lonelier path of building something of your own. I talk about the emotional hangover of "compare and despair," what triggered a moment of doubt, and how quickly our minds can sabotage progress when fear creeps in.

I’m struggling with this at the moment - stick with the well-paying, safe but draining career, or go out and start my own thing for more flexibility / family time. The issue is that once you understand Bitcoin, it’s hard to justify leaving the career where you have the predictable cash flow to invest given Bitcoin’s CAGR, especially if you anticipate a few years of low income while you start a business.

Thanks for sharing. A tough one this!

Ultimately, only you can decide

From what I’ve seen, generally, most people are better off stacking as many sats as they can, whilst specialising in their field

One day you won’t need to work at all

But a minority are just built different, and are never happy until running their own thing

Horses for courses!
