When what’s burning inside of you to do is undeniable, it’s time to start making your own business a reality. Continuing to put it off only creates misery and denies the world of what you have to offer. Timing is all about when it’s right for you. That said, even when it is right, that doesn’t mean it won’t have challenges.

In this therapeutic episode, I (Daniel) talk with Justin Fortier, Founder, CEO and CTO of FYC Labs, about that urge, that visceral drive to do something of your very own. Justin shares about game recognizing game, not forcing company culture, handling stress, and enduring pain. We also discuss checking your motives and when you can't keep it down.

“You’re emotionally cheating on your current employer by having this visceral urge to go out and do something more… If that's the case, then hit the gas pedal, don’t worry too much about timing… Start your business when it’s right for you, when it’s something you need to do.” -- Justin Fortier
