Today I talk about one of the most controversial questions in entrepreneurship: should you quit your job to start a business? I share stories from my own life, like how a failed deal unexpectedly forced me into building the company that made me my first million, and how treating carbs like alcohol helped me lose 60 pounds. I break down the two sides of the “burn the boats” debate and explain how success sometimes comes from eliminating plan B and sometimes it doesn’t. Then I walk through a real life example of how someone could burn the boats intelligently, using constraints and commitment without blowing up their financial safety net. Whether you’re thinking about launching something new, scaling your current company, or just stuck in indecision, this one’s for you.

Enjoy!
