Entrepreneurship is kind of similar to surfing.

Surfing can be a dangerous sport. You might get attacked by sharks, stung by jellyfish, swept away by the currents etc.
You will fall off the surfboard countless times, and the seawater might get into your eyes and nose. Getting wet is a given.
Similarly, everyone knows that starting a business can be full of risks. You might lose money; there might be liability risks.
It is a life filled with hardship and endless work. Business is full of ups and downs. There will always be new problems to solve, constant struggles and challenges. Failed ideas and projects are a given.

When a surfer rides the waves, it looks like the surfer is a master of the seas. Surfing looks cool, feels great, and is a fantastic lifestyle.
Running a business gives you the freedom to control your own time. You own the work that you do, you set the rules, and you have the possibility to be very, very wealthy.
It is a classic case where the rewards can be worth the risks!

I had a conversation with a friend about starting a side, home-based business. This person knew very little about business and entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship isn't a path that is suitable for everyone. For a person who has not started a business before, entrepreneurship is a new arena.
Yet, the pain of regret for not trying is much worse than the sting of failure.
"The one who falls and gets up is stronger than the one who never tried. Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying." ~ Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
If you want to ride the waves, then you've got to get into the water!
