Entrepreneurship is Easy – It Will Make You Rich and Famous
One of the unfortunate side effects of all the publicity and hype surrounding startups is the idea that entrepreneurship is a guaranteed path to fame and riches. It isn’t. Building a startup is incredibly hard, stressful, chaotic and “more often than not” results in failure. That doesn’t mean it’s not a worthwhile thing to do, just that it’s not a good way to make money.
Creating a start up is extremely painful – but that they care more about realizing their vision. And there are much easier ways to get rich.
