If @dsiroker were on Farcaster, here would be my answer to him: (1) fear, (2) fear, (3) fear. I'm not a founder but I've worked closely with many over the years. You ARE a founder though, what's your take? https://x.com/dsiroker/status/1755622803343032760?s=46

There is a gap in mindset you have to bridge between executing a given task and paving your own path. Have you ever read Arendt 'the human condition'? Quite enlightening in this respect. My god it's scary! but worth it

The barrier to entry of entrepreneurship has moved drastically, especially profit models. As a first-time founder, 1-yr in, I did not know I’d be up against all of this. And that’s a good thing. But most don’t even know where to begin. I didn’t. Thankfully I was early to Farcaster.

Out of HS I went into commission only sales and I learned a lot. I met tons of people and it’s not like they didnt want to create something.

I used to think I could never be a founder because I didn’t want to raise a billion dollar round or become the next Elon musk I recognized that this was wrong, that I should start now, and that I can become any kind of founder I want - VC funded or bootstrapped - b2b saas or candles 🤣

1) not knowing where rent or mortgage will come from next month is really hard 2) selling is hard but the most important skill - sell to investors, sell to customers, sell to family 3) there are mind boggling levels of tedium when resources are scare & it’s all on you; tax, hr, hosting, invoices, registration, law

Disagree - Jobs are arguably a cakewalk in comparison to entrepreneurship. The delta is 10x hard at the very least

Simply isn’t the same as taking a job, the fear and the uncertainty is crippling irrespective of (potential) eventual satisfaction

I would say fear and comfort go hand in hand in roadblocks to becoming an entrepreneur

Fear and self belief. Fear is number 1 for sure, everything else is downstream of it.
