One of the things I’m most thankful to my parents for* is growing-up in Silicon Valley. To me, that means “a place where starting your own business wasn’t mythology, it was what the neighbors did.” When I started my first company with friends, back in 1989, in my last week at TheUnderstandingBusiness, co-workers would approach me concerned for my future: “how are you going to make a living, pay rent, etc.?” I remember being a bit bewildered, thinking “what’s the big deal, I’m just starting my own business.”
