During all the ups and downs, an unyielding stream questions flows through the mind of that motivated (yet nauseous) entrepreneur. Dharmesh Shah of OnStartups created a list of 23 common questions that stir in the minds of entrepreneurs 'round the clock and might just make you feel better about all those sleepless nights spent mulling about investors, money, and hiring cousin Billy.
Is my idea good enough to quit my job?
Should I try to raise outside funding?
Did I make a mistake picking my co-founder?

Someone from the early team is not as valuable as we though. Should we let them go?
One of my co-founders needs cash to pay the bills, do we give him a salary?
I have investor “interest”, but no checks. What should I do?
