1. Lower your expectations. Don't think about starting a business. Think about starting a small project on the side. You have to make time for it. If you don't, you don't want it bad enough.

2. Being an entrepreneur is a marathon, not a sprint. Won't happen overnight and certainly there is no magic wand or guarantees. You have to be willing to lose it all at some point.

3. How bad is your itch ? You said "I don't see myself as a good employee". Ok that sounds awesome. But how bad do you want this ? Everyone at some point in their life get fed up with jobs/corporate life and think about starting their own thing. But do you really have the will and determination to go through with it ? Stars will never align perfectly. You have to want this bad, real bad.

4. Imagine yourself on your death bed. Would you regret not trying to do your own thing ? If yes, then you gotta do it. If no, then may be you are just a wantrapreneur and nothing wrong with it.

Ok, now some real steps to take. You either start a side project OR you go join a small company where you get to wear many hats and learn how business really works. But you have to sacrifice something TODAY. So what is it that you are willing to sacrifice TODAY ?
