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

In life, you don't have a level of confrontation and the nonsense you run into when you're a CEO. CEOs aren't born.

Note to self: It’s a good idea to ask, “What am I not doing?

Until you make the effort to get to know someone or something, you don’t know anything.

How do you make your company a good place to work in general? That's a really really really large and complex set of skills. A lot of it is on the job training, combined with excellent mentorship.

Sometimes an organization doesn’t need a solution; it just needs clarity.

When you're making a critical decision, you have to understand how it's going to be interpreted from all points of view. Not just your point of view, not just the person you're talking to, but the people that aren't in the room. Everybody else.
