As a startup CEO, I slept like a baby. I woke up every 2 hours and cried.

Nothing motivates a great employee more than a mission that's so important that it supersedes everyone's personal ambition.

I never lost those feelings, but after much practice, I learned to ignore them. That learning process might also be called the courage development process.
