I think my biggest takeaway this week is that, for an entrepreneur, time is your most valuable asset and you have to be able to manage it well. If you want to balance work and family, it's about managing time. If you want to be successful in whatever job your have and maintain all your relationships and responsibilities, you have to develop the ability to manage your time. You make time for the things that are the most important to you. You can't do everything all of the time. You have to prioritize, be disciplined, and purposeful in the decisions you make with what you do with your time and your life.
Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint-of-heart. If you want to do it well, then you have to be in it for the long hall. The odds of achieving success the first time are low. However, if you keep at it, and continue to learn and grow, you're more likely to find that success you're looking for. Wences Casares said that you can't help be entrepreneur. While I firmly believe you can be whoever you choose to be, I think the point he was making is that it takes a certain type of person to be an entrepreneur and, odds are, if you have those qualities, they will keep pulling you towards entrepreneurial ventures.
Learning more about this has been interesting, but I don't know if I want to be an entrepreneur. Part of me does, but it's kind of intimidating.
