We all have brilliant ideas but how are we willing to invest/gamble on those ideas is the question? Are we willing to expend the time even if it costs us a good paying job to get this project of the ground? Would we be willing to cut into our next egg or cut our fixed costs to expend monies on this project? Or are we just willing to let others roll the wheel while we sit in our comfort spot even if it has a bunch of holes? These are difficult decisions to make and here is how I come to my decision.
(1) Can I afford to lose these monies without losing the house or car to get to work with?
(2) Will this cause undue burden that will be too difficult to recover from G-D forbid it fails?
(3) Is there something I truly want more of that this project will tear me apart from?
