There's no doubt this thing is going to sell like hot cakes. The question is whose stock to buy to make some extra dough off this.

The Entrepreneur's Hardship

Money

I'd be joking if I told you money didn't matter. The truth is that there will always be only a limited number of people around you who see the bigger picture. I sometimes wonder if it's because it takes a crazy person to see the light at the far end of the tunnel or if it's because many people are simply just not bright enough.


Uncertainty

Oh, how I love uncertainty. It makes my toes feel funny before I go to bed every night. Starting a company is like being lost in the Amazon. You can only make the best out of your current surroundings; you don't know what to expect next and you don't know who's coming with you. Everyday is an adventure, jackpot could be tomorrow.


People

Roleplay at it's best. Who can do what and how well. Who will step up and who will bring the team down irresponsibily. The truth is that people aren't as modular as they might seem (depends on the business). The people (the team) makes the company. One lagging peer is a hole in the balloon.

Patterns


Tell me fear I do not know
Shake my hands I've never felt
The keys to heaven are in the soul
Bring me near without a hand
For I shall swim until I fly
Baby, fear nothing.
