Here are the tips for people like me who skim YC comments before reading the article.

Tip #1: Don't worry about not being courageous enough for the uncertainty of the business world, as being an entrepreneur has nothing to do with courage.

Tip #2: Look for a big idea, and be rational.

Tip #3: Start small.

Tip #4: When faced with the fear of giving up a secure job, concentrate on the equally frightening possibility of someday looking back with regret.

Tip #5: Have a backup plan.
