TLDR:
I'm really curious to hear more about how you (my fellow entrepreneurs) have experienced struggle and pain in your journey? What do you consider pain or struggle?
Here's the long reason why I'm asking this question, feel free to skip.
I'm getting slight anxiety over the fact that entrepreneurship hasn't been OVERLY painful for me. I feel that I haven't struggled nearly HALF as much as what you read/hear when you first get started. "You're going to have to work shit jobs until you can make it. you'll be down to your last pennies. Some months you'll be hungry, you'll be doubting yourself constantly, people will question you, you have to be willing to sleep in your car!" None of this was my experience. It almost makes me feel like something bad is bound to happen because I hadn't experience any of that.
I left my job with savings- got my first paying customer within a month, hit $10k/month in profit in the first year and honestly can't say I've struggled, quite the opposite.
I suppose it depends on the person and your outlook? I worked harder and longer hours than anyone in my industry for a number of years to develop great contacts, sales and marketing skills - and this helped immensely.
