You’re conflating your “entrepreneurship dream” with a very very small subset of entrepreneurs (indie hacker digital nomads). Entrepreneurs start corner shops. Sell physical products, digital products, provide services, etc. the number who build a SaaS alone and travel while doing it is very small.
Also - in regards to the indie hacker space there are important things to watch out for:
- Constant bragging about revenue but no talk of margin/profit.
- Lots of talk that the product would still be a success without the persons huge Twitter following.
- Lots of bragging about success that, when you actually look into it, is $1000MRR. That’s great but these people give off the impression that they are much more successful than that.
Finally, you have to love entrepreneurship because it fits your personality. The risk taking necessary isn’t for everyone (rightly so) and for some people a stable career is much more fulfilling. You sound like you want to be an entrepreneur because of the lifestyle you see from these digital nomads but maybe the reality of it (risk, instability, failure) isn’t actually what you want.
