The Truth
I'm 26 and running a company. Sometimes I have no idea what I'm doing.
The Triggers
- Board meetings with experienced VCs
- Comparing myself to other CEOs
- Making decisions that affect people's livelihoods
How I Cope
Acknowledge It
Everyone feels this way. Even the successful ones.
Focus on Progress
We're farther along today than yesterday.
Lean on the Team
I don't have to know everything. That's what smart people like Gilfoyle and Dinesh are for.
Remember Why
We're building something revolutionary. That's worth the discomfort.
Still scared. Still building.
Richard, please read this. You're an amazing CEO and you need to believe it!
This is more common than people admit. Good to talk about it openly.
