A founder who sold million-dollar companies questioned everything after a botched product launch. The speaker built six companies and hired 300 people, felt lost multiple times, and kept going anyway. Struggling doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.
One of the most successful people I know just shared how he was struggling with his business. Nothing worked like it used to. Botched product launch. Questioning the why and the how. And mind you, this is a guy who's made his money, right? He's sold million-dollar companies. He's lauded in the media as one of the founders to watch. Everybody thinks that everything that he does turns to gold. But obviously it doesn't. And so he was struggling with this question yesterday, and I had to remind him that it happens to all of us. I've built 6 companies, hired 300+ people, and I guarantee you one of the reasons I don't have hair is at myriad occasions I had no idea what was going on. I had no idea how we were going to survive, and I felt like giving up, but I didn't. And so if you're struggling in your business or in life, just keep going. It will turn out for the better.
