You don't need my comments to help you see clearly, you have everything you already need in what I've written already. Joining those dots is up to you.
The main thing is, your life is up to you, blaming anyone else is just disempowering yourself. It doesn't work. Taking responsibility and choosing to create improvements for yourself does work.
Anything else is just substituting excuses to make yourself feel better, and just substituting an addiction to intoxicating narratives of zero responsibility, for instead of actually getting results.
You can start a company, no matter where you start from.
Oh, it looks hard from where you are? So give up when it looks hard from where you are and you'd rarely be successful anyway.
So persevere and your success is that much cooler, than if you'd peeled away a lesser risk.
The nature of risk, is that it's risky.
In a whole lot of ways it's easier when you have nothing. You're hungrier, more wily, more resourceful, you have less height to fall from. And more to gain. It's more immediate and important. When success and failure is the difference between your next meal, or a place to stay, you'll discover a depth of resourcefulness you didn't know you possessed.
If it's the difference between a Jag and a MacLaren, maybe you don't fight so hard.
So stop making excuses, and pretending you got to be privileged to make it. Buck up, if you want success.
counter narratives to the idea that you can't be an entrepreneurs unless are privileged - Make it work - do more with less - be scrappy - work smart - convert people into believers - convert believers into funders - ... or customers - if your Real Idea takes more than you have, make a Proxy idea to generate money so you can fund your real idea - stop complaining - stop blaming others - take responsibility - it's hard? it's in your mind. if anyone could do it, they would have. you wanted to be special, be a success? so earn it. - expecting success to just be given to you is acting privileged and entitled - it's not what you're given, it's what you choose to do with it that makes you count - risk comfort can be conditioned. so start practicing. - pretending their success is due to privilege is just trying to close the gap between you and them by diminishing your perception of them, instead of by making something that makes you more successful. this makes you feel good, and it doesn't work to get you results
Inspired cheers!
