Said Winston Churchill.
It’s lonely being an entrepreneur, founder, and self-starter.
People betray you, friends try to talk you out of it, employees steal from you, unexpected calamity hits you, and you feel overwhelmed.
All manner of doubts creep in– you’re not sure how you’ll pay those bills that are coming up, or get out of this current mess.
I have much respect for you– the man (or woman) in the arena– facing the world with courage.
Don’t compare against others, since what you see might not be real and probably doesn’t apply to you, anyway.
Make YOU your biggest competitor— comparing against you, not them.
I see a lot of people struggling right now– I’m struggling, too– and here’s to going through hell together to reach the other side!
