These days, everyone wants to start-up, be an entrepreneur or a founder. Even though I strongly encourage that, I recommend all those aspiring to run their businesses to know of a few dark truths before they find themselves lost in the glitz and the glam of the start-up world.
The purpose of this video is to encourage you to be more aware, and to always help you remember the sole reason as to why you chose to go down this path in the first place.
