I'm glad you've come. I'm enjoying reading this discussion.
There's definitely a balance to be achieved here--a dream has to be viable in the "real world". However, it still seems to me that the only way to know whether or not it's viable is to try it. Sure, there are things you can do to make it more viable--have a good business plan, set tangible goals, etc. But then you have to jump. You have to try it out. If this doesn't work out for us, Dave will take a "real job" and we'll go back to the drawing board. But we'll try again. And again. And again, if we have to, until it works. Why? Because it's a dream, and there's something about a dream that gives you the motivation to keep pursuing it.
