I “nearly”invented an entirely new class of software, but went out of business before getting there.
Many years ago I came up with a concept that dominates the world of software today, and I did it before anyone else. My idea lacked only one critical feature. Not just idea, but complete implementation, like nothing anyone had ever seen before.
My idea was so very close to being an idea that within a few years others would complete, leading to untold riches.
And for me nothing but failure.
Every day I think about how very very close I was to gigantic success.
How do I deal with this constant looking back?
Surely others feel the same way, nearly being highly successful, nearly finding the winning formula, being only an inch away from winning.
How do people handle this? How do you handle being inches from immense success, and instead being loser?
