I totally agree with finding the support. Entrepreneurialism is a very exciting, adventurous yet risky terrain. Like running a marathon, you do need to be surrounded by fellow runners, trust that there are people who is going to be cheering for you along the way and at the end. There is a lot of mental discipline and personal belief involved in it but with the feeling that there is that ‘cushion’ for you to rest on, you can certainly endure the worthy journey! And of course, it is always great to share the experience!
