Nice list. You nailed it when you talked about having passion. That is critical. Don’t think you are selling out just because you have to delay your business by feeding yourself. Plenty of people have to take that route before they achieve freedom. Think of it as a learning experience and a way to get the required experience to start your own thing.

As long as you work on your idea and make some progress, however small, you will succeed. It will just take a little longer.
