In my opinion, this video provides a very accurate picture of what it’s like to be an entrepreneur.

When you’re an entrepreneur, the #1 goal of every day, week and month is to NOT DIE.  You’re continually dodging bullets, and must continually look out for and focus on every risk — running out of money, losing a key customer, pissing off an investor, losing a critical member of the team, etc. When you have no momentum (and even if you do have momentum), there are hundreds of ways to screw everything up — then it’s “game over” for you and your company.
