14 Ways Entrepreneurship is Like Parenthood
In many ways, entrepreneurship is very similar to parenthood. Here are a few:
1. You’re never ready for it. You’ll never BE ready for it. Start before you’re ready.

For example, your husband is out of town on business, it’s pouring out and creek water is rising in your backyard inching closer and closer to your house. You have one child home sick and the school nurse calls to tell you the other kid isn’t feeling well (True story.) What do you do?
