You go through a lot of emotions as an entrepreneur, and I think you’ve captured them well here. For me the satisfaction of seeing a business form from nothing more than an idea makes any of the negative aspects of entrepreneurship more than worth it.

Jason – wonderfully candid and refreshing post. Thanks for sharing some reality – it helps keep our own dreams and fears in perspective.

And always remember – even if you do “screw it up” you don’t lose the experience, knowledge, contacts and new friends that you gained along the way!

Jason, you are one of my heroes, truly you are.

I love your honesty, your clarity, your humanity, and yes, even your self-admitted human frailty. But what I admire most is 1) your courage to tackle the tough issues to get a dialogue started and 2) your tenacity in the face of any obstacle.

Your friend and colleague,
Deb Dib

Jason,

I am right there with you! Recently (5 months ago), after finding out that we are going to have a daughter (she is due in 10 days), I had to push my business endeavors to the side and get a full-time job. My endeavors were paying off and I was making money, but not enough to support a family.

I thought that once I started working again, I would put my entrepreneurial spirit behind me and focus on the job.

Then, I realized that once you start, you can’t stop. In fact, people WON’T let you stop.

So, I juggle both.

For me, I feel truly blessed to have ventured out. Many people never take the opportunity to start a business. For me, it’s helped tremendously.

Keep up the good fight! You inspire me everyday to get out of bed and HUSTLE.

Your thoughts could not be truer. I go through the same line of thinking almost every day.

Thanks for sharing and verbalizing it! You’ve inspired me to keep going down the entrepreneur route. And I’m not giving in!
