James, you paint the entrepreneurs strengths up in a tainted light. I agree with everything you say, but I celebrate the entrepreneurial way.

Here’s the thing. There’s always 2 piles in front of us. A steaming pile of dog crap (pain and problems) and a gleaming pile of gold (opportunities). The funny thing is, those golden opportunities often come disguised as pain and problems.

Most people are hopelessly focused on the pain and problems. Thank goodness for entrepreneurs who can create something from nothing given an opportunity. That’s why great companies put their best people focused on the biggest opportunities, not the problems.

Hmmm....do most entrepreneurs really believe they're "the best person for the job"? In my mind, one of the appeals of entrepreneurship is the ability to take on big, hairy, audacious goals that involve jobs you are not the best at or just plain don't want to do!

@ Monika (and Allison, by extension)

At my house, I do the dishes (well, load/unload the dishwasher, and wash the pots/pans, anyway…), and we hire a housekeeper.

My lovely wife does more than her share with the four kids, in addition to working full time with me. So it is the *very* least I can do… make sure you train your men properly.

@ John: thanks for the heads up. I’m sure we are all most likely very loverly entrepreneurs by the sounds of it anyway.

@ Allison: finally another woman who hates doing the dishes. I will go one step further and say I hate house work.
