Being an entrepreneur is sexy... for those who haven't done it. In reality it's gritty, tough work where you will be filled with self doubt. Entrepreneurs are survivors.

Persistence, persistence, persistence. I'm surprised how few entrepreneurs follow up.

The exception does not prove the rule.

Good entrepreneurs have a chip on their shoulders. They are out to prove something.

Being a startup entrepreneur is not for everybody and it’s not the only desirable career choice. I also know that many people have families and cost obligations that don’t allow the kinds of financial risks associated with starting a company. And for others the hours, stresses and sacrifices in personal relationships are not worth it.

Individuals don't build great companies, teams do.
