What Do I Want To Do With

Thinking Big Is Only One Part Of Being A Successful Entrepreneur.

I've Learned I'm Rarely Able To Stay At Home And Not Work. If I Try To 'just Sit On My Couch For A Little While,' I Am Going To Grab My Laptop And Just Knock Out A Few More Emails, Or Start Sketching Up Some Product Ideas For Themuse.com. So When I Want Time Off, I Schedule Dinners Out, Movie Outings, And On Occasion A Flight Lesson From Groupon.

So Many Of My Rookie Mistakes Could Have Been Avoided By First-hand Exposure To Other, More Experienced Technology Entrepreneurs.

I Had Been A Veteran Of Pretty Challenging Job Searches, So I Knew Firsthand How Frustrating, Confusing, And Demoralizing The Job Search Process Can Be. Even After You Get A Job, Many People Join Companies And Discover In The First Couple Weeks That They Aren't A Good Match With The Personality And Values Of The Company.

For Those Working Menial Jobs Or Putting In 100-hour Weeks For Corporations, The Lure Of Starting Your Own Business Can Seem Like A Great Way To Get More Flexibility, Upside, And Ownership.
