Permission to be Great

I was 37. I’d finally reached a point where the prospect of not starting a company was more awful than the idea of starting a company that sucked. And so at last, I got to serious work on starting a company. There are a million and one ways to get stuck. I think back to all of the ways I held myself back. I thought I was too old. I thought I was not good enough. I thought I should have been prioritizing different things like the other people did. I thought why me? Ultimately you have to give yourself permission to be great.
