I’m documenting this so if ever they ask me why I did it I cannot lie:-)
An entrepreneur is the kind of person who will jump off a cliff and believe she can craft a plane on the way down.
If I knew there would be this much ‘exhilaration’ I may have told my self-assured streak to take a chill pill. But now that the race is on I’m glad I’m in it.
We are in the beginning of the beginning, and yes, I know its a gamble. It hasn’t been done before, but I believe I can do it successfully. Odds that I’m right are less than 10% but if I am, this is really big.
Either way, in the end I know I’ll walk away with something. Something money can’t buy – although it certainly made the journey feasible – and I feel immensely fortunate that I have been able to take the leap because of it.
This journey offers intellectual adventure, exposure to amazing people with brilliant ideas and a chance to make a positive impact in the world. Sure its an emotional roller-coaster with highs and lows I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, but when I look back I know I’ll be able to say I had a good run. I’ll have some fascinating stories to share with anyone who cares to listen and hopefully I’ll be able to say I have left a lasting legacy – a meaningful change that touched more people than me and my family.
Right now, I wouldn’t trade that for the world.
