Izzz made a post of interest, that is good way to start. He has experience with his own ventures, which in opinion, makes him viable. The old ways of hiring people who have 0 clue of what is going on are going to the wayside.
Sly, I respectfully disagree with you about your ventures being put in jeopardy. All situations are of course different, but at least in my case, Weg has been nothing but supportive of things I pursue. Jason, Jordan and Christian are only 15 feet away from me all day and a phone call away at night. Most people would probably pay by the hour to walk into Jason's office with a personal business question.
I also worked for an AVS that ventured into payment processing from the ground up. Now account for the fact that I am not only the Director of Marketing, but the public front, and realize that I get to mingle with some pretty heavy hitters. I know more than most people would ever dream of knowing just because I work hands on with a huge program. That knowledge will serve me well, hopefully in mainstream ventures some day.
Taking a Marketing job was the absolute best thing I ever did. I would never have made my own personal venture money without doing so. Not short-selling myself, just stating the facts.

personally i will never be a coder, designer or content producer, just because i can not do those things successfully. but sales, marketing and management i have a good chance to succeed at
