Running your own company is immensely gratifying but also terrifying. There is no better feeling than watching your vision take off and become a living, breathing entity that changes your life and those around you. I believe running your own company is like being a professional athlete.

Many of us look up to professional athletes, fantasizing about being in their shoes, in all their moments of glory. However, many don’t often think about is the enormous amount of dedication, willpower and the failures that they had to overcome to achieve success.  Strangely enough, this same phenomenon occurs when people look up to entrepreneurs.
