Nicely articulated. You are right, there’s no way to really describe entrepreneurship to someone who hasn’t traveled the road. It’s by experience that a definition is acquired.

I still remember doing that video interview with you at Pubcon (? – they all run together) in Vegas a year ago about entrepreneurship…and that crazy guy that kept walking into the shot.

Anyway, what’s funny is that every interview ended up seeming like a poster child for why you should quit your job and go do something on your own. Nevertheless, an entrepreneurs journey is a tough road and wrought with pain. Yet, it’s a journey worth its weight in gold.

Keep up the great posts…for some reason I just found your blog, so I have a lot to catch up on now.

Take care,

Arif

Hi Joanna,

Great points. I agree that entrepreneurship is consuming, but I don’t really mind. Since I went into business doing what I love doing, I don’t really mind it consuming me because I enjoy (almost) every minute of it. It is good to set limits though like one day a week where you don’t do any work on your venture.

My dear friend, it’s an honor to know you. This is the second or third time you’ve written what I was thinking. I’ve been self employed for nearly 10 years. I only stopped to go back in house to do something that was bigger than myself and would help move my industry forward. I must say, corporate life wasn’t for me. But being a consultant, entrepreneur, teacher and occasional muse is.

Remember not to wear or spread yourself to thin. It takes it toll on all you. I’m right there with you – what do I want? Is this what I want – ohhh FUCK! I built this, now I’m obsessed with that.

Funny how you find your passion midstream something that you thought was your calling. Here if you need me.

What a timely message. We’ve been struggling with some of the same issues, and have felt some of the same freedoms of which you speak.

We can definitely relate to the “never ending to-do-list”.

We are currently at an important crossroads and it is going to take every bit of encouragement, motivation, and faith to continue this journey.

I am confident we will make it, but it is definitely nice to know there are others out there that are on the “long road” too.

Thanks.

Love this post–I think it’s something that all entrepreneurs struggle with. Being on your own is definitely a double-edged sword, you can take three weeks off if you want, but there’s no one to keep things chugging while you’re gone. I’m not an entrepreneur, but my boyfriend is and he works harder than anyone I know–all day and often all night. Keep up these insightful posts!

I can’t tell you how much this post hit home. Just the other night my wife and I had this very talk. As great as it is to have the freedom of workin here at home, sometimes there is envy for those we know who work 9-5 and come home with their mind clear.

My wife and I call them “normal”

Take care and thanks for the great read!
