The loneliness of starting a business
By Chris | December 26, 2007
I made the decision a while ago to start my own business, and I’m still doing it. I’ve made quite a bit of progress and run across quite a few obstacles and speed bumps. But I’m still surviving. (And enjoying it at times!)
Probably the hardest thing for me to deal with is how lonely I feel. While a lot of people my age are out partying it up, I’m at home building up infrastructure, getting together financial documents, and drafting up contracts. I average about 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night now.
This diagram from indexed kind of depresses me. :)
But soon I’ll have something set up that I can say I’ve built from nothing. It feels really empowering. All of this is in anticipation of that moment where I can declare, “I have something worth marketing!” and mean it. All of this is in anticipation of that moment where I can tell everyone all about it on my own web site, to new customers.
See more progress on: Start my own business

i have no clue what that would be like, but it sounds like sure enough, it is something incredibly empowering.
GO CHRIS!!!
