Anyone who is a CEO or is thinking of becoming a CEO should read this.

Great CEOs face the pain. They deal with the sleepless nights, the cold sweat, and what my friend the great Alfred Chuang (legendary founder and CEO of BEA Systems) calls “the torture.” Whenever I meet a successful CEO, I ask them how they did it. Mediocre CEOs point to their brilliant strategic moves or their intuitive business sense or a variety of other self-congratulatory explanations. The great CEOs tend to be remarkably consistent in their answers. They all say: “I didn’t quit.”

One year ago today, I made the decision to start a social media company called Nology Media.  Two weeks later, on January 5, 2010, the doors opened for business. That day, there were just two of us, sitting in a single office around an old kitchen table, writing tweets and Facebook posts for a single client. Since that time, we’ve moved offices (twice), grown to 20 clients, and now employ 15 amazing, smart, and very hard working social media professionals. It’s been, by far, the most challenging year of my career, but also, the most rewarding. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved and can’t wait to see what the next 12 months holds in store for us.
