Building things is really hard and entrepreneurship is often portrayed in the media as the “sexy,” or even worse, “easy” career path. Rarely do we hear the real stories of struggle, resiliency, and even failure – the stress of staying just ahead of payroll, the cost of making the wrong hire (or the transformation that comes with the right one), the sacrifices of personal time, the heartache of the wrong investment in a new product/service and much more.
