What did the "entrepreneurial dream" look like to you before you started, and what is the reality today? Would you say it is similar to what you expected, or completely different?
Answer by Jason M. Lemkin, cofounder/CEO of EchoSign, cofounder of NanoGram Devices, vice president of NeoPhotonics, senior director of BabyCenter.
Being a founder/CEO is nothing like you think it is when you watch as "just" part of the management team. You think it's about making tough calls and making key decisions every day, every week, every month. It is.
But what it's really about is 24/7/365 accountability — in a way you have never experienced before.
