Growing a business is similar to a high-speed roller coaster -- it has ups, downs, twists, and turns. You're simultaneously thrilled yet horrified, and once the roller coaster ends, you're itching to hop on the next exhilarating ride.
The idea of entrepreneurship is romanticized in the media. We're supposedly part of an elite team that consists of the dreamers, doers, and do-gooders of planet Earth. Our journeys are glorified and packaged as fairytales, which often inspires others to take the risk and follow a similar path -- just look at the lives of Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs.
