I was pleasantly surprised that they mentioned that eating healthy and exercising were characteristics entrepreneurs often have. Having a healthy lifestyle is definitely important, and is usually the first thing to go when people hit a very stressful or busy time in there life. Maintaining ones body is one of the best ways to keep up ones overall happiness, even in rough times.
When the section was discussing what to do to relieve stress in mentioned networking. This confused me a little at first, because to me, networking is something that is stressful, even though it's an important part of a job. What I think the author meant though, was that talking with your network about common issues is a good, because everyone would have similar experience to empathize better.
The author list quite a few traits that are associated with entrepreneurs. Because of that I was wondering if there were just a few traits the author felt were more critical to being a good entrepreneur? Also about the traits, if there were some that an individual lacked, would it probably be alright to rely on someone else to compensate for it? Working with others is a way to make up for individual disadvantages, but also means that one may become too dependent, and not able to succeed without the other.
There wasn't anything that I disagreed with in this chapter. I'm glad they touched on the darker aspects of Entrepreneurship, because that is something that really must be considered. Being an entrepreneur requires putting a lot of yourself emotionally and physically on the line, and one has to make sure that's a risk they can accept.
