This is very true. If starting a company is something you've always wanted to do (like me) then when you do it you'll find so much crap that you dislike or even hate but still have to do.
Some examples:
1. reading through all your contracts, legalese, terms of service and everything else you need a lawyer for. Mind numbingly boring but also real important.
2. writing copy for your site.
3. pitching your company in a bar at the end of a 80 hour week where you just want a drink in peace.
4. dealing with psycho customers who troll you for no good reason on forums where your promoting your company
5. Accounting.
Starting a company is probably the most extreme example though. Most profressions are just that - ie made up of 1 profession.
Starting a company is a multi-profession profession. Most of which you'd have never done before.
I've been a partner in our agency for 12 years now. It's been a hell of a lot of work. Additionally, the fun and interesting parts have always outweighed the bad.
Again, my point isn't to avoid anything uncomfortable. It's to do it for the right reasons, and to ensure that you aren't procrastinating at something you dislike, when you could be getting ahead at what you do like.
