Your greatest start-up stresses

So it’s 4:00am in the morning here and I’m just finalizing some of my thoughts for my 7am presentation at the Northwest Entrepreneur Network. I’ve asked a bunch of other start-up founders for their greatest start-up stresses in advance of this presentation. I’ll be sharing that material here on the blog later today. It’s really good material and I hope you’ll get value from the thoughts shared with me. For now, I need to get back to my Powerpoint :)

    Kelly — loved the deck. Wish I could have made the presentation in person. I look forward to catching up in person one of these days!
