Starting a business is exciting, exhilarating, freeing, and terrifying.  Pretty much like my first experience learning to ride a bike.  I was six, maybe seven, and my dad must have lost 10 pounds that summer from running up and down the block, holding on to the back of my bicycle seat.  As long as I could talk to him or hear him breathing, I was good.  The minute I thought he wasn't there,  I would crash. The truth was I could ride my bike, I just needed to know there was someone there to support me.
