By the title, I thought this would be another clickbaity post about how we should all quit our jobs and become entrepreneurs, but in actuality, the post is better described as 'if you're going to do that, the worst outcome is to be moderately successful'. Which I agree with, and it's something that really gives me pause when thinking about launching on my own.

I mean, my corporate job is realistically pretty cushy and as the sole income earner, my family depends on me. I'm sure I could do well on my own, but it's hard to predict the success of any venture. Failure I actually don't mind, because the answer is easy... just get another job. The worst possible outcome is 'success' where you have a customer base and demand, but it's just never going to be enough to make up for that lost income. That would truly be the worst. You can't just quit without damaging your reputation; on the other hand, selling would likely be difficult without significant recurring income.
