Wouldn't the logical entrepreneur maybe take a moment and say:

* This is a $200,000 contract.

* I can pay my own d-bag $35k / year to just yell "Smokey, This is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules."

Then, if he doesn't oblige, read from this script:

Seems like the finances still would work out, and you can sip a pina colada on the beach somewhere instead of crying about it.

True, although he may still feel like giving up in that moment, which is what I think the post was about. There will always be moments as an entrepeneur where one feels like giving up, but the wind of desire and ambition returns to fill the sails.

Who the hell would want a person like that in their company?

I agree, I'm just saying it's better than giving up. Sometimes founders think they have to (and can) do everything that's all.

In this particular case, a $200k contract might warrant hiring new people instead of failing...

But i'm all for the do-it-all CEO...
