Growing ideas and organizations is like raising children: you conveive and birth them, fuss and fawn over their first steps, and guide them as they take shape. You build a strong network around them, nurture them in an environment of honest criticism and praise, and give them space to grow.
If you do it again, hopefully you’ll have learned lessons from your first, but keep in mind that each time always holds surprises that will challenge and delight you.
And most of all, it’s not about you. The true marker of your success is not that they have won you fame or importance, but that they will stand on their own two feet when you eventually leave.
