Poem: The Wise Entrepreneur

In the past I wanted to start a company just to start a company. To give myself meaning.

To make myself proud of I.

I didn't care if it was a great idea, really; and just rushed into it head first.

I just wanted to BUILD SOMETHING.

I just wanted to PROOVE SOMETHING.

To Who? -- To Myself and The World.

Then it became about proving those who saw me fail, wrong.

I Just wanted them to see that I was indeed great.

I needed validation.

This was the rookie.

The rookie entrepreneur.

My next venture will be done smart.

I will be selective.

I will not loose my mind over it.

And I will not allow it to define who I am, but merely be a component of the balance that I strive to achieve.
