All entrepreneurs are children

Steven Pressfield:

A commonplace from Hollywood and the theater is, “All actors are children”—and its corollary, “All writers are children.” There’s more truth to this than most actors, writers, dancers, singers and entrepreneurs would care to admit. What I mean is that creative types notoriously come unpeeled when the vision they’ve invested their identity in suddenly and catastrophically unravels.

His bigger point is worth internalizing, too. A producer is the person who gets things done. That role is seldom recognized (no Oscar for best producer).
