- BrandonM 16y agoWouldn't those delusions also be a source of the emotional rollercoaster ride that pg talks about? It seems to me that an entrepreneur that can keep a level head and realistic expectations will not only have lower highs but higher lows. I would expect that the delusions may help with building a large-scale business: in order to achieve the desired grandeur, a big exit will be necessary. VCs and wealthy entrepreneurs are better off expecting to change the world. The first-time entrepreneur (and some angel investors), on the other hand, would probably be better served by having realistic projections and reasonable goals.
