| Couple of things Id love to clarify: 1. Why do you need to be an entrepreneur? If your day job is exhausting have you tried changing jobs to a more balanced work place? If it is a matter of skill/expertise have you tried investing in upskilling yourself? 2. If you dont think you are a good developer (imposter syndrome or otherwise) what makes you think you would be a good entrepreneur? I am not saying being a good dev is the only prerequisite but if you are going into be in some kind of software startup space there will be a lot of coding/dev ops/engineering/debugging/prototyping across the stack. I hope you were not looking to be a biz-guy-looking-for-a-coder. Now despite the above if you truly truly want to be an entrepreneur (and revel in #struggleporn as suggested in another thread) try the following (YMMV): 1. Take a vacation and just unwind without thinking about work.
Given your 7 years of experience I am assuming you are young and have less number of "responsibilities" and I am assuming you are living in Europe (from your donation currency) so you may not have to depend on employment for basics like health insurance. 2. If you can afford to take time off (say for 6 months) go on a reading/learning spree without actually working on potential ideas. You will be amazed at realizing that the things you dont know are not magical (they are just unknown and vast) and be pleasantly surprised at how each fibre of knowledge builds N^2 connections between your other threads of knowledge. 3. Build relationships with people in different areas outside of your immediate interest/work. Again do this purely for learning rather than hoping to turn it into a business venture. The common thread across the above three is you are letting your brain do some garbage collection which is a powerful way to put it to good use in the future. |
