Running a business is not for the faint of heart. CEOs must deal with The Struggle and the stress and learn how to thrive in spite of it -- or because of it. They must know how to make their employees feel valued, how and when to let go of employees and executives, and how to lead a business through both wartimes and peacetimes.
It is a lonely job, but you are not alone. Build a good team, be true to yourself and your vision, and turn The Struggle into greatness.
