it can be hard. but the ride is worth it.
you know, the hardest thing in my life is balancing my mind’s insistence that until I achieve my goals, I can’t stop going (and the goals never end, they only get tougher). it’s a double edged sword because while it makes me constantly push myself and shoot for more, it rarely allows me the opportunity to enjoy the moment.
i’ve also come to realize that starting a company, no matter how passionate you are about it and how committed you are to making it successful, is… well… hard.
starting a company must be a lot like being addicted to drugs. the highs are HIGH and the lows are low. I’m ok with that, but I’ve had to train myself to realize this so I can allow myself to find equilibrium in there somewhere.
i can’t please everyone - but I can stay focused on the mission, not allow anyone to overly influence my emotions and push ahead and when others make it hard to do that.
i will say one thing.. the ride is DEFINITELY worth it and you better believe great things will continue to happen.
