There's a reason that so many entrepreneurs I've worked with are saying, yeah, I was bullied. And the first time you get in a fight, every fiber in your body says you're going to die. And after you've been in 100 fights, you realize you're not going to die and you calm down. But your threat networks still remember the first time that you got in a fight.

You just don't know what the instruments mean or what the buttons are. You can learn these with feedback.
