No Rules, not even biology.
There was a recently posted article in the New York Times and the gist is this,
A thin line separates the temperament of a promising entrepreneur from a person who could use, as they say in psychiatry, a little help. Academics and hiring consultants say that many successful entrepreneurs have qualities and quirks that, if poured into their psyches in greater ratios, would qualify as full-on mental illness.
While I agree that entrepreneurs sometimes have some marbles loose, I also know some incredibly level-headed business minds that have built good strong companies.
I’m finding the real truth in doing work that matters is not insanity (although it may help) but rather a formation of goals that you are set on achieving.
There’s no doubt, if you’re building a start-up (or doing anything that’s worth-doing) it may well make you go crazy, but before you take that plunge - ask yourself what you want to be, what you want to have, and what you want to do.
Before needing to be manic, a college graduate, or know the best business tactics; you need to decide what your purpose and success is - when you’re a person with a purpose, you’ll be unstoppable.
No one is born to be remarkable, or born an entrepreneur. It’s your choice to be outstanding and do work that matters.
You don’t need permission from evolution, teachers, parents, bosses - the rule is simple, you do it now.
