I think we should not force ourselves to become something we are not.

If you've got the Unicorn CEO personality, go for it as it would be a pity to be stopped by fear.

If you don't have it, why chase the social norm of the day? You won't make it and you'll be miserable.

Again, not everyone has to be a CEO.

You can be great at something else but you need to be blind to the social requirements of your age.

What is cool today wasn't cool 20 years ago and won't be cool in 20 years time, anyway, understand this and you are free.

Maybe we will look back at the "be big or go home" days as a skewed approach to business fuelled by VCs need for high returns.

And yes, today I look for partners who can complete me, as I have millions ideas but I only enjoy the first part, where you go from 0 to 10, growth 10 to 1000 is boring for me and I'm not good at it.

BTW, if anyone is good at it, I have great ideas in the Vacation Rentals (Airbnb) market, my contacts are in the profile.
