More from "Schlep Blindness"
I remember going through this realization myself.
There was a point in 1995 when I was still trying to convince myself
I could start a company by just writing code. But I soon learned
from experience that schleps are not merely inevitable, but pretty
much what business consists of. A company is defined by the schleps
it will undertake. And schleps should be dealt with the same way
you'd deal with a cold swimming pool: just jump in. Which is not
to say you should seek out unpleasant work per se, but that you
should never shrink from it if it's on the path to something great.
