You gave me some good food for thought regarding my own business model.

In my talk I'd wanted to talk about the different levels of commitment to a business and how this effects your overall life, but there simply wasn't time. Many people thinking starting up their own business means they will have more free time, because they are their own boss, but the reality is very different due to amount of sacrifice you need to make to get a business off the ground. We ran FreeAgent as a part-time project while we held down day jobs/freelance work for almost 2 years, before we were able to commit full-time to it. This was incredibly difficult juggling 2 jobs, family life etc. But the hard work was worth it for us. @Jane: That’s an excellent point.

This will ensure that you spend the right number of hours each week, take the right level of risk (some models involve more risk than others), are practical in terms of your financial wherewithal, and gain the kind of satisfaction and success that only you can define. First off, you have to make a key choice: How much time do you want to devote to your business? When you go for a full-time business model, you leave behind whatever you were doing previously to commit yourself completely to your startup. When you make this leap, expect to spend more hours working than you ever did working for someone else. In contrast, you can start up part-time. With this model, you adapt your business to time-consuming obligations you already have, such as your day job, parenting responsibilities or any other activities that would keep you from making your startup your total focus.

Thanks for putting this out there. Not only did I take away most, if not all, of your message. I also just signed up for an account at FreeAgent. I just repositioned my "business" as a venture development company. I've been looking for a way to iron out the ideas I've had for my business model and this put it all in perspective. Keep up the great work. I'll be looking for more stuff from you for sure. This was so helpful. Thanks for putting this out there. Not only did I take away most, if not all, of your message.
