How do you define “entrepreneurial hunger”?
To me, it’s not “drive to succeed” or “being opportunity obsessed” as some of these Google results suggest.
To me, entrepreneurial hunger is real hunger.
It’s working so hard you forget to eat. It’s looking at the clock at 1, thinking about lunch, and then picking your head up at 4 and realizing you still didn’t eat because you’re so engrossed in your work.
I have a bad, bad case of entrepreneurial hunger — especially right now (it’s 9pm, I haven’t eaten since 1pm, and I won’t leave for food any time soon) — and so I made this video:

HA! Thats great! I never thought about my drive to succeed making me hungry literally. Too bad it doesnt work as a weight loss program :/

I know the feeling man. But then again, I’m always hungry.

I can totally relate. The obvious answer is to pack a lunch. You need to find a balance between hunger and starvation in business.

Haha. I’m in the same situation tonight. I have to force myself to have a big breakfast every morning so that I don’t pass out at my desk if I forget about lunch.

Maybe you should start packing a BrownBriccaBag…. you know… the brown paper bag lunch (2.0).
It straps comfortably around your back… much like a backpack. But fits only enough for a little bit of food to keep you going through your workday. The BrownBriccaBag has sensors that read what foods your carrying and every time you remove a food it instantly shares the food you ate with the rest of the world (a.k.a. your friends). Thus, BriccaBoxers will never go hungry again!!!!!!!!!!
Haha… or just go with the whole “eating is overrated” thing.
