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.
