I sometimes tell people they are not cut out to be entrepre-
neurs because it’s true. Some people are, and some people aren’t.
It will save you a lot of time and hardship if you can figure that
out first. As with anything, you have to see how you handle pres-
sure and the risk factor. It’s similar to going through the set of ques-
tions we had at the beginning of this essay. Learn to scrutinize
yourself and your capabilities, and find the time for some thought-
provoking thinking. As Confucius said, “Learning without thought
is labor lost.” Don’t let that apply to you. Learn, work, and think
in equal proportions, and you’ll be going in the right direction.
