When it comes to entrepreneurship, everybody talks about funding, valuations, revenue, numbers, and the potential for IPOs and/or acquisitions. It often seems to be all about numbers — and what the world sometimes forgets is behind every statistic is an entrepreneur, who is a human.

Besides the great responsibility of running a business, the entrepreneurial path involves endless people and conflict management, sleepless nights, stressful weekends, and the list goes on.
