The best metaphor I can think of for the titanic struggle that goes on within the mind of all entrepreneurs is a Cherokee legend known as the “Two Wolves”.
.
Within every person there live two wolves; a light wolf representing faith and a dark wolf representing fear. These two wolves are constantly battling within everyone and particularly in entrepreneurs during the first two years of their business. The wolves are constantly fighting each other for dominance.
.
A young child that was listening intently to the elder the story asked; “Which one wins?”
.
The elder stoically replied; “It depends on the one that you feed.”
.
The same is true for the entrepreneur.

“Think you can or think you can’t either way you will be right.” Henry Ford.
