Ever so often and quite frankly with a frequency that makes me think deeply about my own “success,” I get asked about what it takes to start a new business, the kind of dedication and work that are required for entrepreneurship.
Usually, I get these questions from other women, most of them in their mid-thirties to early forties who are either bored or disillusioned at their current jobs; they tell me that they believe they have what it takes to go it alone.
They come to me expecting some kind of salvo. I’ve been an entrepreneur for 20 years and often I feel as if they want me to convince them to quit.
