I understand that’s the general idea, and that’s what every one out there says , but secretly I hope for some killer advice on how not to kill yourself doing a startup . Coz life’s short . Maybe there is some strong advice that would be really helpful
- jaxn 8y agoThe only way is to have more resources so that others can do what you can't/won't in order to maintain balance. You can balance some aspects of healthy life (sleep, exercise, eat right), but that is more about maximizing than balancing.
- chadwittman 8y agoBy no means do I have it figured it out, but my approach is somewhat balanced. 1) Expectations Start with setting expectations for yourself, then with everyone who matters in your life. 2) Define What is "work" to you? When do you work? How much should you work? For me, I'm mentally working nearly all day everyday... except for when I'm explicitly not. If I'm spending time with my wife & son, I'm 100% focused in on spending quality time with them. I've chosen to spend high quality limited time > low quality abundant time with my family. 3) Prioritize I've dedicated myself to 3 things in my life as it stands today: my family, my business, my health. That's it. I've painfully cut out friends from that equation (not friendships, but hanging out with them). I've cut plenty of other things as well, but it does take sacrifice at the end of the day in some dimension.
