este blog, assim como o autor deste blog, vive uma fase workaholic. que vai durar setenta anos, acredito. e por isso mesmo, recomenda textos como esse aqui, do Luke Johnson, pescado pela Lisa no Financial Times. vai aí uma amostra, o resto você lê no blog dela:

● Do not leave your job. Develop your new project in the evenings and weekends until you are confident of success. Keep the salary coming in for as long as possible. If you need to go freelance, retain a contract with your old company. In the 1980s, while working full-time as a stockbroking analyst, I moonlighted as a partner in ventures as varied as nightclubs and a software business for a few years before joining the world of self-employment. These days, the rise of flexible working means this sort of arrangement is much more widespread.

● Do not rent fancy commercial premises. Initially use your home or garage. And if you have to have space, make sure it’s short-term, like serviced offices. In 1975, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and started Microsoft in an Albuquerque motel room. Do not be vain about such matters: low costs are everything.
