the emotional challenges of startups

the people behind startups don’t often talk about emotions. unfortunately, leaders often feel compelled to hide the emotional challenges related to running a new company.

that’s why i think austin hill’s post about the emotional rollercoaster or entrepreneurship is terrific — it’s honest, and i feel like i know a bit about what he has been going through.

austin quotes andreeson when he says:

“You will flip rapidly from a day in which you are euphorically convinced you are going to own the world, to a day in which doom seems only weeks away and you feel completely ruined, and back again.

Over and over and over.”

you might read that and think andreeson is exaggerating. but for me, it’s exactly true.

but don’t get depressed. yes, yes, looking back it’s all worth it :)
take care, austin, and good luck on all your projects!
