You raise a valid point. But I am hardly ever naive. I live a pretty frugal life and saved up quite a bit of money ($xx,000). I usually hire people from codementor.io/airpair/railshotline (this is free) and pair program. This was the secret to finishing my last two products on time and landing my first paying customer for the last product.

Please don't apologize for stating your opinion. I always seek feedback and I am not easily discouraged.

One of my coworker quit to do a startup. Now all he is doing is sitting at home and updating Facebook all the time. That is a position I definitely don't want to be in.

>> If you were slave to your clients (working on your own startup), would those traits magically disappear?

No. But I can pick and choose people to complement my weakness. People who are reliable and are finishers.
