I fired someone for the first time today. It was a horrid feeling. Maybe I'm just not cut out to be an entrepreneur :(
The cosy job at IBM was much easier. The closest I ever came to affecting someones carrier was just a performance feedback but taking away a job seems terrible.
Although this girl really had it coming. I had been warning her for the last 2 months to no effect. So I guess I shouldn't really feel so miserable about it.

well as you move on and up in your entrepreneurial ladder, there would be a lot of descisions that would affect a lot of people, in many ways.
Beign an entrepreneur is all about decision making and hiring and firing is just one of them. Keeping excess baggage would not only slow you down but widen the gap between you and competition which would start affecting you psychologically and the ripples would be felt by those who matter the most to you.
Look at the bigger picture and carry on, eventuly you would retrospect and smile.
cheers
That makes a lot of sense.. Thanks
