Thanks again for everyone's comments (especially from thomasptacek and bharath).
I am really not trying to take any positions here and make any comments that apply to situations. I am also not trying to disparage Gartner (we subscribe to their service now because they provide values).
Again my point is that success in a startup has a whole lot to do with market timing and no one has a crystal ball (not even for the experts). The best that we can do as entrepreneurs is to keep our nose to the grindstone and do someting that generates revenues sooner rather than later.
If in fact someone builds a "lifestyle" business, it is not the worst that could happen to our family.
