#2While it's not always pleasant to discuss, I think this is something that should happen more often. Especially in light of the suicides of Aaron Swartz, Jody Sherman, Ilya Zhitomirskiy, etc.

#3I agree founders need to get together to talk about what isn't going well more often. Yishan Wong, CEO of Reddit, came into 500 Startups once and talked about what he called "CEO therapy," where two CEOs get together for lunch or drinks and just talk about what's going wrong. What Wil talks about here, is sort of a founder therapy session, and I think it's a good idea.

#5This post is so spot on. It never is as bad as it seems. But sometimes it's hard to rationalize and internalize that fact in the situation. Having a bad day as a founder? Ping me anytime. Beer/coffee/tea is on me :)

#6Not sure on the bankrupt you one. I've seen it happen a lot, but I'd you have runway (which you should) and it gets short, that is probably a signal that you should realistically assess your position.
