Startups

Paul Graham (aka, Startup Millionaire) has a new essay about How to Start a Startup.

He says it's easier than you think.

I've often wanted to start my own company, but I have a couple things going against me.

1. A lack of good ideas (and how to make money off of them). I have lots of ideas that I would love to work on, but my communist Free Software sensibilities always nag me. I also tend to have ideas that I want to sell to people (like non-profits and political campaigns) that don't have any money.

2. I am not particularly fond of working all the time. I want to have a life, too. Working 80 hours a week for any period of time is insane. It leaves you with no personal time. However, if I was working on something I was really into, I'd probably be willing to work more.
