| > Failure I assume this just to not have great expectatives, otherwise I could not start another startup in my life. I will always try and always try to be better. That is the first motto I tell my friends/co-founders. The first talk with me is a 100% transparency on where I fall short and my biggest mistakes. And beg them to help me not to repeat them. No ego whatsoever. And I haven't started a startup in 2 years with another person. I had made the decision to go alone/indie for ever, but this idea is social and needs a team of two, and lots of feedback. I can't do it alone, in real life. > I will assume your post is serious... It is. Thanks for assuming it. I am a remote tech worker, so I have great flexibility. I understand not everyone has the same. It is difficult to write how I live my life, but I don't mean "skip" in a totally. In fact I am in a great place with lots of people around me and other friends living together. It is summer now and I have a beach all around me. My holidays I will spend with my family. I mean instead of playing playstation 3 days in a row, Why can't I convince this people to code? I know they want it, but they have pressure from they family and friends. I want to know if this happens in SV as well or is it because I am not in SV. People here are not trained to invest time in what they love. There is not entrepreneurial spirit. > If you are the founder, you are much more invested in the business and are willing to skip the holidays. I wrote a click bait title. I don't mean "code for 2 weeks and skip all holidays until we have the MVP" though I would love it. I just wonder why this can't happen in my country or at least to/near me. > Enjoy your life. I really do :) > Not everything has to be about work and making money all of the time. I couldn't agree more. Life has taught me the hard way that with money it is way easier. (if you are smart and know how to use money).
Though this is not a topic to talk about money. > I mean... it's nice to do and a lot of people have accomplished that dream,
THIS! > but it's also okay to enjoy the holidays off from work.
100% agree Merry Xmass <3 |

In my experience (and I'm a sample of one, so this isn't scientific), about 1% of the people who say they're entrepreneurial are actually willing to put in the time it takes.
I don't think this is so much geography or culture as it is human nature. Entrepreneurship is hard and entrepreneurs are cut from a different cloth. Some might even say we're a little off...
Have a wonderful holiday season and best of luck!! I'll be hoping for big things for you in the year ahead.
