Entrepreneurial Hypomania
A Valuable Lesson From Step Brothers
Often people exhibit a form of bi-polar disorder when they try something new. One minute they are up; the next they are down. Most humans get frustrated easily by a lack of quick positive results. I have been just as guilty of this as anyone.
With this in mind, I want to share an insight with you that can best be illustrated with a scene from a comedy movie Step Brothers. In the story, two 60-ish people meet at a conference, fall in love, and marry. The only thing that could throw a wrench into the works is the fact that both of them have loser 40-ish sons still living at home. When the newlyweds settle into the father’s house the sons are forced to share a bedroom. This leads to a lot of very funny scenes where Will Ferrell and John C Reilly behave like a couple of 13 year olds.
