A company is the mirror reflection of its founder's personality. At least until there's a real board, and the owner is essentially the CEO.
What today's business represents is built upon the virtues of the founder, despite his or her flaws. All the responsibility and power lie in the founder's hands. Over the years, he can change absolutely everything in the business.
So when the company hits another glass ceiling, it's not about competitors, the government, or the market. It means the founder has stumbled upon another constraint within himself.
That's fate testing how much of an entrepreneur you are. If you cling too tightly to old beliefs, the business will stagnate. If there's any growth, it'll always be less than others'.
But perhaps the thought of your business's potential going untapped is unbearable. You feel like the world's best jeweler, summoned by the queen to cut a 3000-carat diamond.
If your future business means something to you, you'd willingly sacrifice yourself. Or more precisely, that part of your ego hindering a quantum leap. As a result, you'll change. Your personality grows alongside the business.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
