Startup Journal: “I was friendly with a couple that left their corporate jobs to run an inn in the lake country of Wisconsin. They imagined themselves serving elegant breakfasts and shooing guests off to the lakeside. The unpleasant reality was getting up at 3 a.m. in frigid weather to jump-start an ancient furnace and an endless summer spent digging up a leaking septic system. After a couple of years they sold the property to a new buyer, claimed to break even, and returned to their former lives with new appreciation for modern plumbing and a good night’s sleep.”
