Entrepreneurialism. When most hear that word they think excitement, adventure, and unlimited opportunities. While true, there are other words that complete the picture: Stress, anxiety, and sleepless nights.

I’ve been an entrepreneur for 11 years. While the journey has been worthwhile, it hasn’t been easy. During those dark, difficult days when you wonder how you’ll make payroll, or whether the purchase order will come through, you need to rely on something to keep you going.
