The Dancing Bear?

2 pointsby onwardlyalmost 15 years ago
A friend (and fellow young CEO) and I were discussing the potential of getting an MBA versus our full-time entrepreneur CEO/Accoutant/Janitor jobs at current. We're both 24.<p>He brought up an interesting point in regards to being a young entrepreneur, comparing it to being a dancing bear.<p>"If you see a dancing bear in the middle of the street, your first thought is 'Hey, that bear is dancing!' You don't say, 'Bah, that bear dances terribly.'"<p>The point was that being an entrepreneur fresh out of a top-10 MBA program increases the expectations and the risk of being an entrepreneur. You're no longer a dancing bear, you're just another face in the crowd.<p>Makes sense to me, but what do I know, I'm just a dancing bear. Any faces in the crowd care to comment?<p>P.S. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my mom, my dad, my dog Fluffy, and HN. I'm "outside the echo chamber" and this site keeps me focused, sane, and inspired. Seriously, thanks.
