This article outlines common fears among entrepreneurs – many of which we have talked about in class. I found the “fear of letting others down” to be one of the more interesting ones on the list. As the author stated, “others” often means not just your own friends/family, but also employees. There is a lot of pressure that comes with employing someone as the employer is not only responsible for the employee, but often for the employee’s family as well. As much as it’s easy to get past many of the mental hurdles that entrepreneurship brings, it’s often a bit harder to put other’s finances/future on the hook rather than just your own.
