Good thing I tuned in late because I don't know if I could've waited on the outcome. I can totally relate to your journey I've failed many times and have had slight success on other projects. I'm currently at it again and will definitely be checking your site on a regular basis to provide that extra encouragement needed. Good luck and great decision!! Jun,

One of the things that the job market has forced in me is the entrepreneur mind set. As you know I've walked away from lots of opportunities that just didn't fit the bill because of almost all the reasons you mention in this post. While not having an income has been a struggle, I can share your understanding of not pursuing somebody else's dream. As I've written in my blog, I think Viralogy is going to be a very important company to the future of social media and brand building. Look forward to your success. Interesting post Jun.

I'm glad that in the end it worked out for both you and Viralogy. I feel that this is a turning point for you. Coincidentally I've had a turning point for my company today as well. Keep us updated man. Kam Hey bro,

It's not a hate message. Of course, its your life, you can choose to take it or leave it. I have been in corporate for many years. I will not hire anyone that turns on my back once, cause when a better opportunity pops up, he will leave again. To rephrase my comment: "Jun, you are so awesome. Congratulation on leaving your friends and taking up this opportunity!". Sound better, right. Good luck! Jun, whatever. It’s not a hate message.

I agree with the idea of not working on another person's dream when your own dream lays there dormant. I like the idea behind FD and all it's products and having talked to a couple of you lads on the team, I am quite sure you've got a bright future ahead! cheers mate!

If not, I will not take your words seriously. I'll just assume you're someone who is bitter and wants to critic others without a rebuttle. I won't delete this comment, but all of your future comments should come with your real name, email, and a link to your blog or it will be deleted. Come out of the shadows.

What I learn is this, leaving my friends behind when they need me most. You can delete my comment again. But that's the honest opinion. I think I better stick with my corporate life and of course the cash $$$ and forget all these dream of becoming an entrepreneur or working on something i like. Sometimes, it's not about all those people that say you are "awesome". Trust is something difficult to gain, and once it's lost, it's gone.
