Obviously, I'll have the last call :) All the 5 options are things I am considering, and I was wondering if someone had been through the same thing.
Cons for each approach:
a) a lot of my ideas won't see the light of day although they could.
b) i don't know jack about people, so I'll probably end up with the wrong kind of person
c) i'm gonna get bored, or it will clash with my ethics
d) getting a suit
e) i am gonna get bored, and would need someone to handle the bottomline, back to b)
Fair enough, it's difficult. I'm sensing a lot of hatred for suits here though :)
I'm not sure what to say about choosing who to work with. It's difficult, but frankly you have to trust people now and again or you'll have a rubbish life. I suggest you try working with someone on a small project and see how it goes.
There's no point in starting a big new venture if your heart isn't in it.
Having said that:
- Don't look for someone to manage you, rather look for a business savvy partner
- You earn 60-80k and don't own a suit?! That's quite impressive ;)
Personally, I like the sound of the last option and am hoping to do something similar. But that's me.
