With the continued growth of open source software and hardware, the increasing availability of more powerful and affordable manufacturing equipment, and the rapid dissemination of knowledge through expanded internet availability – the individual is more empowered than ever to make their own way.
The biggest leap is leaving the safety of your job and diving head first into the unknown: Starting your own company.
