Meditations for Entrepreneurs #30: What To Remember When You're In Over Your Head

Meditations for Entrepreneurs #30: What To Remember When You're In Over Your Head

“If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?” ― T.S. Eliot

Every first-time founder is in over their heads. Some second and third-time founders as well. It’s the nature of taking on a passionate mission amidst vast territories of uncertainty. 

So don’t worry if you are feeling overwhelmed by everything. You are just in the process of learning how tall you truly are. 

My continuing series: quoting great thinkers who inspire me, then offering commentary on how it connects with the entrepreneurial game. I hope these meditations will help other entrepreneurs play the bigger game
