most people would like to be a millionaire or beyond. And they actually realize that you probably need less money to live a very satisfied life. That's why in the book I've talked about like the freedom number, 'cause you realize that number is actually a lot less than you think.

What I've recognized though is that most people think it's this big, scary thing. What's crazy about entrepreneurship, you don't need a certificate. (laughs) Everyone has permission. We create this big, scary monster of, well, I've gotta be a talkative person, or I've gotta go be on Twitter, or I've gotta go sell, and that's just not the case.

You can create a business, it could be a flower shop, and then keep your day job as well, so at AppSumo, where I work, we have this lady, Amy, she has a flower shop and a hair salon, and she's also our head of customer support. You have Nick Christensen, who has a teeth whitening clinic up in Dallas, and he leads our growth team.

And so it doesn't mean you have to quit your day job. Ideally, maybe have both, but at least have that option available to you.
