I used to be an avid “Business 2.0″ magazine reader, I’d wait at the door like an excited dog, waiving my tail the day it came to my mailbox. The day I found out that it was being discontinued, I think I may have actually shed a tear. Well, long story short, I just now convinced myself to start reading Entrepreneur magazine.

Nope, it’s not the same at all (I’ll do a full review later)…but, it’s not THAT bad either.

The April 2008 issue is the first one I’ve actually sat down to read and I was immediately caught by the Editor’s Note.

She repeats a statement that was made by an entrepreneur and her friend: “Every day I go to work, I’m either excited or I’m afraid…” This sentence really caught my attention because it was the quickest way I’ve ever seen someone else sum up my day!

The more I think about it, I bet LOTS of Entrepreneurs feel this way - if you really think hard, you’ll find that it’s true.

I either have days where I run into work high on my horses, ready to “close the big deal” and take over the world.

The other days, I’m worried about payroll, growth, meeting deadlines, board meetings and god knows what else.

She actually continues to talk about how both excitement and fear are the same emotion (physiologically) and that your environment and how you REACT to it is what either converts the emotion into excitement of fear (that part was a bit over my head).

So, what about you? Do you find yourself either excited or afraid?
