Strange, I just turned 40 and I feel better prepared than ever :)

  Yeah, that's kinda the "catch 22" of it all. I'm definitely more prepared now, for sure. But my feeling is, if this startup fails, by the time it fails (and I won't give up until I'm verging on death anyway), I don't expect to be able to muster up enough mojo to pour this kind of energy into another shot. Whether it's emotionally, mentally, spiritually or physically, I think I'll be spent once this is over. Now maybe I'm wrong, so who knows...

    You're putting a lot of energy because you're learning on the job. Nothing else. If you knew what you were doing, it'd be much easier, of course.

      That's a fair point. All I'm getting at though, is that there's a lot to be said for taking a swing or two when you're younger and have more time for "second chances" if you fail. At my age, if I fail, I don't see starting all over again as being in the cards.

        I think one of the biggest things people should learn from their first startup dying is that it's better to say here ran a coward than here died a lion though.
