I completely feel the same way, if you love what you do, then why wouldn’t you want to do it 24/7? it’s the same concept of loving your wife, if you love her, there is no reason why you wouldn’t want to spend the rest of your life with her.

This may not be true, but if people feel nervous about their job security, they probably will not want to leave a comfortable situation — especially for a start-up. But the flip side of this is that anyone who does come to work for a startup will be incredibly committed. A founder will have employees who really believe in his or her vision and products, and/or who love the start-up environment so much that they’re willing to live with the added risk and Spartan conditions. Those are the types of people entrepreneurs need for their teams. [...]
