I've been active creating software startups since 1999, and I've seen certain self-destructive patterns play out again and again. Emotions matter. We might hope that those in leadership positions possess strength and resilience, but vanity and fragile egos have sabotaged many of the businesses that I’ve worked with. Defeat is always a possibility, and not everyone finds healthy ways to deal with the stress.

Self-sabotage is a problem many of us face, both in business and in our personal lives. I write about it because I want to see people succeed, and success often necessitates facing one's own internal conflicts, and finding a way beyond them.
