Why? Because We Like You!

This was the post I had planned to do last week — before cats and vertigo got in the way.
As some you know, The Dude started a company about two and a half years ago called Junction Point Studios.
About half of all new businesses fail.
When The Dude was trying to decide whether or not to leave gainful employment, I stood behind him saying, “Jump. Jump! JUMP!” I felt then, and I still do, that starting his own company at that time was the right thing to do.
That’s not to say I haven’t felt like an absolute schmuck many times since then.
The new business thing has been really scary. More times than I can say, I’ve worried that we made a terrible mistake. That giving up a steady decent salary with benefits was colossally stupid. (And that telling someone to, “Jump. Jump! JUMP!” may have been a horrible thing to do. My guilt at such moments was massive.)
