Entrepreneurship Series from “The Road Less Travelled”.
This is the overall summary of the presentation I gave at O’Rielly Ignite Ottawa. The series was quite a lot of fun to write and draws on my experiences and those of other entrepreneurs I have meet along the road less traveled.
I have likened starting a business to going into a dark tunnel that slopes down. When you first start the journey all you see is the pitch blackness at the bottom of the tunnel. Eventually after lots of hard work when you are just about ready to give up you reach that low point at the apex of the bottom. Looking up you see there is light at the other side of the tunnel.
On that note lets begin the Entrepreneurship series.

Enjoyed the series but as a fan of the movie, I have to point out that you’ve mixed up the pictures of “the bad” and “the ugly”.
