The Thinking Behind The Tweet
It takes courage to face adversity. It takes courage to face criticism. It takes courage to face change.
Children are born courageous and independent-minded. But, often, that is discouraged.
It takes wisdom to re-build courage.

About Baby Boomers...
Over the last 4 decades, small-business owners naturally understood what it meant to work in your business.
When Michael Gerber taught the value of "working on your business", many small-business owners grasped the value of strategic planning [i.e., working on your business] and embraced the concept.
Now, many small-business owners are nearing retirement and, for them, the timing is critical...now, they must work on themselves and make significant changes they have postponed if they wish to secure their financial futures.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
When we were young a lot of people started to say "No" to us. We were made to believe it was wrong to say and do certain things....many things. The rules of "No" versus "Yes" were inconsistent, depending on who was saying the rules and where all of us were [mental schema, states of mind, etc.] when the rules were being expressed.
Regardless, when we were instructed "No", we received the message we were doing something wrong...i.e., we were making a mistake. We heard "No" so many times when we were young much of our current thoughts involve our past mistakes, sometimes even the mistakes we made when we were very young.
We should learn to shake mistakes off.
