Real and fun

I just read James Altucher's '100 Rules for Being an Entrepreneur' and heartily recommend it for any entrepreneur or wannabe.

I don't agree with all of it though.  For example, Altucher's rule #1: it's not fun.  In my view, if it's not fun, don't do it - but I'm not suggesting you expect a non-stop joy ride either.

There are some personal faves in the list too:
-  Try not to hire people
-  Get a customer
-  If you have an idea worth pursuing, then just make it.
(The 'just do it' approach is probably universally cheered on by most entrepreneurs.)

Check out Altucher's list here, it's long, but a quick, amusing and meaningful read - even with the many reminders to follow him on Twitter ;)
