Before starting a business or pursuing a VP role, consider your actual life. Caring for aging parents, young kids, health problems, or needing multiple jobs to survive means now isn't the time. It's not discouragement, just math.
Here, Feras is talking about when you should start your business. Getting a promotion and going to become a VP is not for everyone. It's not to put people down, but you have to look at your circumstances. Because if you have aging parents, if you have young children, if you have a health condition, if you have— you have to do 2 or 3 jobs to just make it. I mean, those might not be the best time for you to think of having your own business, or maybe you're not ready for that next promotion.
