If you're the type of person who is saying this, understand what it means. Understand that growing a startup is not something you just do because you don't want to work 9-5. It's fu**ing much harder than a 9-5.
If and when you actually do start your company, expect 12-14 hour days just to get your startup off the ground and functioning. A 9-5 job provides safety/security and starting a company is not for everyone. It's not easy to grow something that can supplement the type of income a standard 9-5 job can provide, so expect to struggle financially before you succeed.
Let's say you do start making some money! Great, you made it! WRONG. Remember how you didn't want to work that 9-5? Everyone on your team didn't want the same thing either. Because of this, you MUST get to the point where everyone can be paid as much as they would typically make in the job market. Trust me, if you don't make enough money within a certain time frame, team members will get frustrated, they'll quit, and your chances of failing just increased 10 fold. When you're young, you don't think about the money side of things, but trust me when I tell you, money will be your #1 motivator when your back is up against the wall. If your company isn't making a sufficient amount of money, people WILL want to get "normal" jobs. You might want to as well.
Okay great, let's say you do make it. The company is making money, everyone is being paid at a normal pay-rate. Now what? It might surprise you, but after all of the hard work and struggles, your day might actually start to look more like a 9-5 job. Everything you were trying to avoid right?! You no longer have to put 12-14 hours a day of work in so you scale back to 8 or 9 hours. You might have people working for you and since you're the boss, you'll want to lead by example and show up when they show up and leave around the same time you do...roughly around 8-9AM to 5-6PM (a typical work day).
So was it worth it? Of course it was! You built something you can be proud of, you don't work for anyone else, you call the shots, you can have more flexibility in your schedule, your pay-rate will never be capped off, your equity is a valuable asset, and the list goes on and on. The purpose of this post is not to deter you from starting a company. I just want a lot of you guys to understand that when you say you can't see yourself working a 9-5, you need to realize what that means. Getting away from a 9-5 job is a short-term struggle, but can be a long-term endeavor.
