Entrepreneurs are often stereotyped as gregarious wheelers and dealers who network their way to fame and fortune. Some do. But many I know find entrepreneurship a lonely pursuit, one so isolating at times that business builders need to take steps to safeguard their wellbeing.
This feeling of isolation is a common theme in emails I receive from small business owners or entrepreneurs struggling to build a venture, or dealing with a horrific business failure that may be compounded by relationship loss or mental illness, such as depression.
This came from a reader after my recent blog on relationship problems: “I am a fledgling entrepreneur and my first venture has been besieged by all of the issues and challenges you spoke about in your blog on the human side of the business venture. I must admit it’s hard to keep going when you feel so alone and not sure what to do next, and it doesn't help that the venture is in a foreign country. Thank you for the insights, it just might help to rally me onward and upward.”
