Becoming an entrepreneur is the far tougher option, and it’s far riskier in the short-term. 4 years into it, penniless, you might be wishing you had just got a job like everyone else. Be prepared for that.It’s the better option if you have grit, if you’re prepared to work damn hard, if you believe in yourself, if you’re desperate to live your dream, desperate to be the captain of destiny.Eventually the gamble will very likely pay off.It’s the worse option if you want stability, you want your nice new car early on in life, you don’t want stress, you don’t need to do something amazing with your life (unless you go into something fulfilling like teaching or medicine - all of those guys are doing something truly amazing, so long as they are doing it for those they serve).When I became a Vice President at Morgan Stanley someone came up to congratulate me and tell me I’d survived and thrived in the world’s most ruthless environment, and I could survive anything.Little did I know that a few years later I would embark on a journey which would prove to be truly humbling. Entrepreneurship.Running a fast-growing or failing business makes becoming a Morgan Stanley Vice President look blissfully easy. And this is why the vast majority of entrepreneurs fail. It’s damn tough - don’t underestimate it. Working 100+ hour weeks is expected for the first few years.You have to deal with everything and if you fail in one area it can bring down your whole business. It doesn’t matter what your weaknesses are, you have to deal with everything.Your core business, the cash flow, accounts which you may or may not understand, branding, tech, customer service, hiring the right team, staff trying to cheat your systems, creating a great team atmosphere, investors, a monster with 50 times your funding entering your space, loneliness, strategy when everyone is advising you differently, you have to deal with a crisis every few days, and you have to deal with your dreams looking like they’ll be shattered every few months.I run startups with incredibly talented people who have done nothing but achieve all their lives. I’ve had some of them cry in front of me as they feel they just can’t do it. They fail in one aspect, try to improve on it, but fail somewhere else - it’s like whatever they do they fail somewhere - there are too many balls to juggle - and it’s depressing working for nothing and seeing no progress - watching your dreams slowly shatter. But they soldier on, some don’t.You have been warned…

Brad Feld is the co-founder of the Foundry Group as well as an entrepreneur, blogger, and venture capitalist. He’s also the author of Startup Life: Surviving and Thriving in a Relationship with an Entrepreneur, a book about how the entrepreneurial lifestyle affected his relationship with his wife, and how they make it work.Here is one of his best tips for a successful relationship:“My partner and I believe that only one partner can have a crisis at a time. So, if you want to have an effective relationship, especially in a world where one of the partners is an entrepreneur, one can be having a crisis at the time, and that can’t always be the entrepreneur.”“Think about a relationship that you’re in where your partner melts down, and if you both melt down at the same time, it’s a disaster. But if one of you melts down and the other doesn’t, you can get back to a good place. You can support that person, and if the melt down moves back and forth and you’re out of sync in terms of that cadence, you’ll get through anything.”
