    I totally agree. I work with clients on this very same issue. People who were extremely successful in a corporate job, can find entrepreneurship rather challenging at first.

    Because - there is no one else to report to. There is no one in the immediate vicinity to be accountable to - there is no one else to take direction from. It all comes from the business owner. Which can be liberating - but also debilitating until you get your feet under you.

    I like the idea of a mastermind group. I've been part of a couple of groups like that and it is nice to have that type of accountability. I've also worked with a coach and have taken group coaching programs. Having that accountability piece made all the difference. Because - I was still the head honcho, but I had someone there to help guide me, and I knew that if I didn't get done what I said I was going to do, there better be a good reason ;)
