Anytime I hear stuff like this I can't help but think of JK Rowlings ex husband. I don't know all the details and don't really care to search.. but I'm pretty sure he regrets not letting her pursue her dreams more while he was with her and not shooting down her ideas. I'll bet he wishes he stuck around longer.

I'd rather have the regret that I hung around too long, was too patient, rather than the opposite.

Just my 2c.

Every business idea I've ever had (and many ended up being successful) was shot down by the majority of people. It's easy to be the negative one. Very hard to be the positive one, but that makes it all the more worthwhile.

Point taken but this would be more like if JK Rowling was begging her husband write the book for her because she had a good idea and knew some publishers but never learned how to type. I'd let her write her own books all day long if that's what she wanted.

You may have already done more and put in more time than he did. Just wanted to give a counterpoint. Only you know when you are done and when hope is lost.

As a counterpoint. I hung around way too long on 2 ventures and I greatly regret it. My time and energy would have benefited me much better by grinding out my job and saving money.

How many JK Rowling wannabes are there who have wrecked their family's cashing their dreams? You don't hear about them only the ones that make it.
