Business without a net at the hemorrhaging edge is like war is like life. Been homeless, went bankrupt, and just idled a bit, for a while.
It's better to look at it as a game and an experiment. If someone gets too in-love with their "baby," emotionally or identity/ego, then they won't be able to pivot, chop it up, exit, or strangle it.
Take a break, get a job, go on a coke bender, sleep with 3 affiliates of VCs, become a Twitch DJ, vlog from India, sell windmills, have a kid, whatever it takes to get back to making a living or trying to make livings. It can be difficult to unfuck your shit after a big loss, do whatever physical or emotional labor is necessary to get back to an even keel. Psychological and/or pharmacological assistance could be needed for some people.
- comfrey 6y agoWhat a wonderful list of mind opening activities for the burnt out. Time off helps and is difficult to take for the chronically obsessed. Chose your obsessions carefully and learn how to let go.
- throwawayboise 6y agoAll of that is fine except the have a kid part. Don't bring a person into the world with the thought that he/she will motivate you to unfuck your shit.
