Don’t start a business unless it's the only option. To be an entrepreneur, you have to be unemployable. The idea of working for someone else? Impossible. Being told what to do makes you want to scream. You’ve wanted to shove every boss or authority figure in your life aside and grab the wheel. You’re overflowing with ideas on how to improve things. You're perpetually dissatisfied with everything. In short: you're just the right amount of broken. You don’t want to start a company. You need to. Why else would you endure the endless struggle and misery? The sleepless nights. Missed payrolls. Lawsuits. Betrayals. People misunderstanding you and thinking you’re crazy. Like Andy Dufresne, crawling through the tunnel of shit to reach freedom. You only do it because there’s no other way.
