The difference between an entrepreneur and a startup founder is not the hours or the pressure or the craziness. After coaching hundreds of people I’ve discovered that most people who say they are in unfulfilling careers are actually unfulfilled in their personal life. So don’t bother with the startup.

This is one of the reasons that I was so upset when I was coaching Cassie Boorn and she didn’t tell me she was gay: because the best career advice I could give anyone who is gay is to find a place for themselves in the workworld where they can be themselves. The story of Jason Collins is not just a story about being gay.
