I quit an internship after five days once. It was with a Fortune 500 company. Everyone thought I was crazy, but all my instincts told me it was a bad place to be and I would just be wasting my time and lowering my expectations by sticking around. I couldn't get another internship for the summer, so I just showed up to the lab and did unpaid research. I had to start hustling after little web and IT projects just to pay the bills. Then I made a BREAKTHROUGH and that set me on a path I could never have anticipated.If you don't face your fears, life's opportunities will pass you by. Everyone dies, but not everyone lives!

Holy s**t true that. Many businesses never become more than a single person creating a job for themselves. A real entrepreneur grows a business.
