Great article. When I speak to students about becoming entrepreneurs, the one thing they seem to gravitate toward the most, is the notion that you get to do what you want, and nobody makes you do things you don't want to do. It is fairly astute, because bad founders do live in that world. It is one of the first myths I dispel (after getting rich quick, and flexible hours). It is hard to make yourself do things you don't want to do, but it is the life of a founder. It takes a lot more discipline to make yourself do the "tough things" than it is to have someone tell you to do them.
