Making Sense of Your Business

So you want to be an entrepreneur. You’ve come to the right place. I’m Ty Freyvogel and I’ve been my own boss practically since birth. I believe there is no better way to make a living (and, as the cliché goes, to make a life).

Entrepreneurship is more than a job. It really is a way of life—an addictive, stomach-churning, intense-to-the-point-of-exhausting roller-coaster ride that makes a “regular job” feel like the most placid ride in the kiddie park. Once you make the entrepreneurial leap, you’ll discover that nothing else compares.

Don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying you’ll never go back to the nine-to-five life. You may well decide that having a job is a better fit for you. But if you’ve got the entrepreneurial bug, you have to find out. You’ll hate yourself if you don’t.

I am here to share what I know about entrepreneurship. I have no secret agenda or hidden motives. Frankly, I’ve already built my nest egg and, odd as it may sound, I want to help other people build theirs.

Oh, I’ve made plenty of mistakes (and you’ll read about them on this site) but overall my journey has been a successful one.

Read on to discover some lessons I’ve learned along the way. Don’t consider them the gospel truth—in entrepreneurship there is no such thing—but do consider them. Each word is backed by a lifetime of experience.
