Today I had a lunch with two colleagues. They are internet entrepreneurs like I am. Smart people doing what they like. They were successful as executives but feel they need to create something on their own even they had to suffer as hell.
We made a personal update today. Result? We we all ok, feeling good, businesses going on, growing, in the pace. We did not drink champagne, It is not that case (yet).
Last day we met, 6 months ago or so, none of us were that good. Cash issues, funding trouble, product uncertainty, etc. Funny thing is, we all feel maybe tomorrow we are not going to feel so good. Why? The emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. If you want to start a business for a first time, you cannot imagine how resilient you might be to overcome this ups and downs we all have.
If you are an entrepreneur, do not feel lonely, we feel your pain today and your happiness tomorrow. But having the chance to sit with people feeling what you feel is priceless. My heroes!
PS: After writing this post, I realize, this is one of the reasons why I belong to EO – Entrepreneurs Organization.
