A Closeted Entrepreneur is a Very Sad Thing

by Alex Elias


Symptoms include:

  • Flickers of original thoughts and ideas, usually preceded by the words what if.. ?
  • Depression, resentment & fear of failure.
  • Skepticism of others’ ideas; gets irate when new ideas succeed.
  • Experiences pain when reading press or any other chronicler of happy entrepreneurs playing together.

You may know a closeted entrepreneur, be wary of broaching the subject. Some may wish to remain wedded to their career cover forever.

For others, help may be around the corner.

For what it’s worth, coming out of the closet as an Entrepreneur is among the best decisions I’ve made.
