Has The Startup Bug Bit You?

Doctor, the last dose of a corporate job didn’t work!

It’s a plague, highly contagious and extremely persistent. If you’ve been bitten by the startup bug, take precaution. Symptoms may include an entrepreneurial “itch” that may cause “rash” decisions.

This is a lifelong ailment. Symptoms may be alleviated by finding a co-founder and launching a business. However the itch never fully recedes.

Often this ailment causes delusions of grandeur. In rare cases, though, the long-term effects of the bite may cause extreme happiness, fulfillment, and prosperity. This is only if you carefully follow the medical treatment prescribed by other entrepreneurs and mentors.

Have you been bitten by the startup bug? What was your cure? Let us know in the comments below.
