I've made a terrible mistake

I thought starting a statup was my route to freedom, to realizing my dreams, to becoming the person I was meant to be, to happiness.

I've made a terrible mistake.

My startup was an ego driven delusion. In hindsight, it is clear. I sought fortune, fame, and success. What I needed was mindfulness, humility and reality.

This will not apply to all of you. Good luck to those it does not apply to. To all else, wake up before you waste more time, resources and good will on ego-driven nonsense.
