It's also addictive. I never looked at working for someone else the same way again.
In the beginning not having a boss is harder than you can imagine. It puts additional responsibility on your shoulders being responsible for your employees and their families.
But once you've had that experience you can't ever be content working for someone else again even if circumstances force you to do it. The world just looks different.
You say never again yet six months later you start writing down ideas for companies. You know that sooner or later you have to start another one.
This. We recently sold our company, and you're completely right. It was a good thing us and the employees, but the day after is certainly different. I think I skipped right over the never again part and am already in to writing down ideas.
The responsibility you mention is stressful and hard, but ownership (not just in the legal sense, but also in the control sense) matters. See an opportunity - take it. Don't like something - change it. Screw something up - deal with it.
