I read an interesting post this week by Mark Suster, an investment partner for Los Angeles-based GRP Partners. He’s a self-described 2-time entrepreneur who “turned to the dark side” and joined CRP after selling his second company to Salesforce in 2007.
Mark’s blog, Both Sides of the Table strikes a familiar chord.
He talks about the life of an entrepreneur with an unvarnished view – in fact, he gives many presentations to “wantrapreneurs” who have the idea that entrepreneurship is a life of glamour and ease, with no one telling you what to do and a fast track to fame and success. The truth is much different. Big wins are few and far between. The life is far from glamorous, involving much sacrifice, adversity and risk. For those of you who’ve followed my columns, this should come as no surprise.
