I feel like the corporate world turns us into robots. Why can't we just cut capitalism? Haha very difficult to do that,  in fact it's just on the uprise. 

My question is, how do you take a risky step when all you have known in life is faillure? How do you invest time in something when you have a family that relies solely on your support? I had dreams to make it big. I had an athletic career ahead of me, but I am now bordering on too old. How do you get that lucky break that you need? Hard work doesn't cut it, ask me, I have not stopped working. I feel like it is inevitable for me to end up never being able to take my wife out to the zoo or to the movies and buy popcorn and snacks.  Probably sounds like complaining, but sometimes you realise your setbacks and obstacles might be too big to jump over. 

Any entrepreneurs here that were in the same boat as me? Maybe some motivation from someone real?
