Founders beware: an entrepreneurial life is not a glamorous one. 

Being responsible for your pay cheque (and maybe others too), is both a gift and curse. The freedom you experience in some areas, will be taken away in others. 

Be prepared for a life of extreme ups and downs. 

Be prepared for a life living in your own head.

Be prepared for relationships to suffer. 

Be prepared for attrition.

Be prepared to feel like you’re living in a dark comedy written by screenwriters. 

It’s a never-ending rollercoaster.

It’s not for the faint of heart. 

Heed the warnings.

But if there’s a fire inside you to create something, don’t let anyone - or anything - put it out.

Will it be worth it? Only by trying will you ever know.
