I don’t think you should focus on the failure of others, or even the success of others. What you do need to do—and what is surprisingly hard—is to define success for your own part of the world, and work towards that. Non-monetary success, because again, money lags.
Via Tom, and I agree with this so much. I think about this every time I see these kinds of headlines, about how companies are doomed and they’re failing and the metric you should be chasing is over here. But I also think about it in the framework of contentment and personal growth. I know it doesn’t pay the bills, and that part’s just as important, but for me it’s about iteration and forward progress on those goals.
