What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?

Mini Cities is in a great space and we need to move fast. We are ready to go! Mini Cities has a proprietary multi-tenant software platform. Each Mini Cities site is created for a great community outside a major city. Each site has a directory module, a SEO module, events module, and now the BIG DEAL (groupon) module. We specialize in local search and local content.
My brain moves faster than the world!
