Social entrepreneur Sam Davidson has a thoughtful reflection at his blog about what it is like being an early-stage entrepreneur.
Those who know me know that I never planned on being an entrepreneur, but that I enjoy every single minute of it. There’s risk, there’s reward, there’s freedom, there’s excitement, there’s disappointment, there’s opportunity – and that’s just Monday before lunch. And so when people ask me what it’s like to start my own company and be a social entrepreneur, I tell them:
It’s like trying to milk a fish.
