I really like this blog post. It gives an honest insight of what can be expected if this is the path you choose. I just wrote a similar article that was inspired by this at www.bensgriffith.blogspot.com It is nothing as detailed as this but it is a start.

You are right David! How do you teach that mindset to others before they can see the light on the other side?

Wow thank you for the powerful comment. Harrison you definitely have the juice...The fire that is contagious.

I think for a young entrepreneur, the most powerful thing you said was the fact that you are who you surround yourself with. Peer pressure is a bitch. But what if that could be positive peer pressure? That was an incredibly hard thing for me to do. I loved hanging out with all my friends. I realized that we had different missions in life. When this is true, these people may not be helping you grow.

So lets scrounge up some change and get some sushi?!?!

Thanks for the comment Harrison!

Balance must be one of the toughest things about being an entrepreneur, or in life for that matter. My health has been suffering lately due to these 18 hour days of launching a product. I am reading your post right now and just tweeted it out. Seems interesting.

I do have that passion you are talking about and can sense yours. I appreciate the insightful comment Jason.

I would agree with you fully. I would be interested to know how many ultra successful people have married and stayed with the first person they dated. Knowing how much growth one has to go through to get to that level, they would need to have someone seriously willing to grow right alongside.

Thanks for the comment!

It amazes me to see your dedication while still in college. BTW why haven't you dropped out yet? KIDDING! I remember those days like yesterday. You would not catch me doing any business in college. Imagine how much further we could be if we started this journey much earlier. Although I would not change a thing in my life, I want to help young entrepreneurs realize this early on.

Thank you for the insightful comment Russell.

I love it Suzanne! CRUSH the TV. I think everyone should throw it out the window. Haha, wait then I cant see the Cubs game. It freaks me out to see how much of this country is consumed in the tube.

I guess people can say the same about me and the computer, but i am choosing what I put into my brain.

Thanks for the comment!

It's crazy how often I catch myself and realize… “wow, I haven't gone out and partied in x days… all my friends are doing x… I'm at home working….. yet I'm as happy as I've ever been”.

It really ISN'T work when you're on the right path! It would be work if it was paying me $8/hour and I was doing monotonous work for someone else… or if I was sitting at home working on a product that I designed because I felt like outside forces pressured me into it… but no, when you are creating something from inside, out of your joy and passion… it's NEVER work.

Thank you,
Russell

Send me a list of three topics (headlines) and link up your three best posts. I also have a list of posts that I need help with research.
