The entrepreneur carries a curse that looks, to outsiders, like confidence. It’s the delusion that everything will fall into place—that success is just a matter of showing up, that luck will favor him because he dares to believe it will. He walks into chaos like it’s already conquered, underestimating the grind, the loneliness, the cost of every mistake. This blind optimism shields him from fear but also blinds him to reality. It’s his greatest strength and his downfall: the unwavering belief that it’s all going to be easy. That belief keeps him moving when logic says stop—but it also ensures he’ll learn the hard way just how brutal building something real can be. His curse is that he dreams too boldly to quit, and too blindly to see the storm he’s walking into.
