The Truth About Entrepreneurship
BusinessPundit: “Do you want to know what entrepreneurs really do? They cold call. They clean bathrooms and mop floors. They make copies and fix computer problems. They answer phones. They fill out paperwork. They work weekends, and holidays. They have to, because their employees just want to work 40 hours and leave, and they can’t afford to hire any more help. Sure, they do lots of other things too, but when you hear that “entrepreneurs do it all”, that includes the shit jobs. Barry Moltz was right when he said “You Have to Be a Little Crazy” to want to run your own business. Don’t get me wrong – it’s a blast. The fast pace, the tough decisions, the incomplete information, the grey areas – it is like playing a sporting event, only it is a mental one. But, it isn’t glamourous – it is hard. If you do it, do it for the fun. If you are in it for the prestige, you will get a quick wake up call.”
