ENTREPRENEURS AS DUCKS…

I had a great discussion with a client (Sakiya Sandifer) today regarding the challenges of being an entrepreneur.  He described entrepreneurs as being much like ducks.  Ducks appear to be floating smoothly and easily across the water at all times, when in reality, underneath the water their legs are constantly kicking, flapping and fighting to keep moving.

As an entrepreneur, one must always appear to be gliding along.  But often, entrepreneurs are pushed and pulled in many different directions.  Being an entrepreneur is very very difficult work, all the time, no matter the perception.
