Do you really enjoy being a founder?
As an entrepreneur who started my journey at 15, I never thought that there was another path, but sometimes I hear the opinion from people who launched their startup that "being a founder is terrible." What is your opinion?

To be honest, most of the time it's 50/50. Especially when things aren't going as planned.
I have never experienced such high and low emotions in a span of 10 minutes as I have being an "entrepreneur".

I really enjoy being a founder! I am a tech service agency guy learning the hidden rules of product game! Open and listening to experts like you!
It can be all consuming if you don't create diversification of other things in your life (hobbies, friends, exercise). Easy to say, hard to do!
It depends on how you manage things—whether you’re an entrepreneur or an employee, it all comes down to how well you perform. I know employees who make way more than entrepreneurs who work like crazy, while those employees put in far fewer hours. And I’ve seen the opposite—entrepreneurs making insane money, literally millions, and living the dream life.
I believe it all comes down to skills, instincts, intuition, and the ability to adapt quickly. As a founder, you have the advantage of making fast decisions, adjusting your course, and correcting your success or failure much more quickly.
That being said, entrepreneurship is exciting because you’re constantly facing new situations and have to make quick decisions that impact your product, your future plans, and even your personal life.
So far, I enjoy it, but we're still at the very beginning, and my opinion might change.
I enjoy it quite a bit. Hours are long. The road gets rough. But, I would rather be doing this! 😁
I think being a founder is both incredibly rewarding and extremely challenging—it’s not for everyone, but for me, it’s the only path that makes sense.
Building something from scratch, seeing it grow, and making a real impact (especially in a field like healthcare) is what drives me. But the pressure, uncertainty, and responsibility can be overwhelming at times. You’re constantly problem-solving, wearing multiple hats, and facing setbacks.
Still, I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. The freedom to create, the ability to shape the future, and the thrill of seeing your vision come to life outweigh the struggles. It’s not easy, but if you’re deeply passionate about what you’re building, it’s worth it.
