What about those of us who hate [almost] everything that comes with running a company, but can't imagine being happy in any other context?
I've almost decided that having a company is simply a necessary evil for what I want out of my life.
Perhaps in my case a partner would help. Someone who is in charge of that end of the business, but I can still jump in and help.
Some things just need to be done.
Slightly longer story: ever since I was very little what I've always wanted to do most was to change the world. In whatever nontrivial way possible.
At first I thought this meant I should become a scientist, but as my understanding of the world matured I realized the scientists I look up to most are actually entrepreneurs and that without being entrepreneurs their contribution to the world mostly simply wouldn't have as big an impact.
