I started this company, and somewhere along the way it stopped being something I do and became who I am. So when a deal falls through or a number dips, it doesn't feel like a business problem, it feels like proof that I'm a failure. I can't find the line between me and the company anymore.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your company and your worth have blurred, so every setback feels like personal failure.
