Startups are founded by people that make the leap before anyone else. If you don’t leap first, you don’t stand a chance of winning. Jump. It’s up to you. No one else can jump for you or before you. If you’re waiting for some form of validation from existing co-workers, family or even worse, investors, you’ll be waiting a long time. http://www.instigatorblog.com/you-have-to-jump-first/2010/12/13/

Because I want people to like me, I didn’t do it. However, a month ago I got an email from a friend of my brother’s about a secret app idea. Those are often the worst.
