Just saw that someone I used to manage is now the CEO of a startup. It's crazy how some people's trajectory is just blessed with such great luck meets opportunity moments, and the rest of us have to take the slow grind all the way to the end point, if there is one. Do other's succesees inspire you or make you feel behind?

Maybe they got laid off and that start-up is something they made up in their pj’s on their couch to hide the fact that they can’t get a job.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned working w/ startup founders and “CEOs” it’s that you don’t need to have a great idea or even be competent. You just need to be able to fake confidence while spewing ridiculous, illogical overpromises. Investors’ own greed will do the rest.

Is the startup actually making money though? Or is this another “entrepreneur” with no customers?

You attribute it 100% to luck?

And courage to take the risk of self employment. I don’t envy those who have more courage than I do, I’m happy for their success.
