I've frequently asked 2 questions of entrepreneurs during the pre-investment discussion and then during reviews, in my Angel Investor role.a. What keeps you awake at night
b. What makes you want to go to office first thing in the morning
Most immediate answers are predictable
a. Competition (Paranoia to some extent) and scale issues keep them awake
and b. A sense of urgency / things to finish up make them go into office every morning...
However, now that I'm in the entrepreneur mode : I've asked the same question myself / reflected on this and found a very surprising answer ?
a. I lose sleep as I keep working through the POSSIBILITIES ie. not worried about competition / excited about what all can be done ?
b. I have a sense of urgency every morning to browse / look at what competition is doing in that regard
Do you see the difference ?
My thoughts are almost reversed. Why is that I wonder ?
