Just read this post on Should you really be a startup entrepreneur? by Mark Suster on Techcrunch. The ironic thing about "Should I do a startup" advice is this: if it's a blog post that convinces you to not start a startup then you really shouldn't do it. If it's a blog post that convinces you that you should start a startup, then you also probably shouldn't do it. You should start your tech startup, lifestyle business, bar and grill, or whatever it is when you know it is the thing that you truly want to do, and nothing that anyone else says is going to make that otherwise.
Whenever I get asked for life direction advice, my advice is always the same: Do what you want to do. If you want to start a startup, then cool, dive in and godspeed. If you want a stable job and a calm, peaceful life, well that's got a lot of advantages too. Ultimately, you should look deep inside to figure out what drives you and makes you happiest, and pursue it relentlessly. Good luck.
