Fear, win and entrepreneurship
On these gloomy autumn days someone sent me a link with a sentence underneath “He who fears, he is a slave” – Seneca.

A friend of mine wrote to me yesterday that he would like to set up a company, but he is not ready yet and he will still wait. Damn, I was never ready and I’m not even ready today. There are so many guys smarter than me that it makes my hair stand on end when I think how much this one or the other one knows comparing to me. I think you cannot get yourself ready for chaos, risk and failure. One can think about them and try to accustom oneself while they bite your hand. However if the only reason holding us from entering the game is fear (not health, family situations etc.) we have to jump in, because:
„He who fears, he is a slave”
