>> I think my advice would just be to I mean do it.
Like because like you should at least pursue your passion.
Right just pursue it to the extent that you can pursue it.
So if you're really passionate about starting a company, you know, make it happen.
I know it's a big jump and it's hard to take that leap but if you're really passionate
about that path and you have, you know, a good set of cofounders and you guys together
like think you can do it, I would encourage you to actually do it.
You don't need to have that backup plan necessarily
because the worst case scenario is a great experience and you learn a lot from that.
And no employers going to look at the fact that you know you started the company as a negative.
So this is not really you know books written about this in the right way to understand it.
So it's kind of just a learning experience the entire way.
The fear of the unknown might stop someone but if you have a different mindset
of you know you're going to tap the problems as you go, that is the way, you know, to solve them
and that's the way to get much, much further.
Right, you don't need to have all the answers, just you know one step
at a time and the dots will connect.
And I think you know if a budding entrepreneur is not in Silicon Valley, in San Francisco,
but is truly passionate about starting a technology related company,
you might want to consider relocating there because that is the mecca of startups
and technology because there's that network, like I said, there's talented engineers
and there's just so much opportunity you know to partner and all that.
It just makes it so much easier if you're actually there.
