I quit the dream job.
Twice.
Before entrepreneurship, I had what many people would consider the dream career.
Technology.
Great companies.
Great income.
Cisco Systems.
Then Arista Networks.
And twice, I walked away.
Not because I knew entrepreneurship would work.
Because eventually the pain of wondering “What if?” became greater than the fear of failing.
Taking the leap changed my life.
Entrepreneurship gave me freedom.
Then took it away.
Gave me confidence.
Then humbled me.
Made me money.
Then nearly broke me.
Built my identity.
Then forced me to question it.
And somehow through all of it, gave me the greatest education of my life.
I don’t romanticize entrepreneurship.
But I believe some people hear a call they can’t unhear.
If that’s you:
Maybe the question isn’t whether you’re afraid.
Maybe it’s:
Which regret are
you willing to
live with?
I no longer want to only share polished lessons from the other side. I want to document the process while I’m still inside it. New entries will live here.
