And the fear of will I be able to provide for the family and the fear of will my business ideas be valued by anyone else other than myself?

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Daniel Priestley: Plumbers Will Earn More Than Lawyers! I Predicted 2008, Now I'm Warning About 2029

Am I doing something stupid?

Am I doing something

that will fail again.

So it's been a lot of fear.

Daniel Priestley: Plumbers Will Earn More Than Lawyers! I Predicted 2008, Now I'm Warning About 2029

But you know what, it's been a wonderful journey that every time I've pushed through that fear, we get to the other side.

And actually, it's better on the other side.

It's even better.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

And the reason for that is I kind of like the roller coaster.

Daniel Priestley: Plumbers Will Earn More Than Lawyers! I Predicted 2008, Now I'm Warning About 2029

I feel like I needed to go through boom, bust, boom, bust, boom, bust because I secretly didn't want a straight line.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Daniel Priestley: Plumbers Will Earn More Than Lawyers! I Predicted 2008, Now I'm Warning About 2029

I think I actually want the more interesting story.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

and I blew it.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Daniel Priestley: Plumbers Will Earn More Than Lawyers! I Predicted 2008, Now I'm Warning About 2029

I screwed up the negotiation and we ended up all walking away from the deal.

Daniel Priestley: Plumbers Will Earn More Than Lawyers! I Predicted 2008, Now I'm Warning About 2029

I think it would have been the worst thing possible had I had $14 million at age 24.
