Yeah this is partly something I recognize. Until the age of 7 or so, my dad usually had left for work when we got up, and would get back home only after we'd gone to bed. When I was around 12, he no longer worked Saturdays, but he'd be tired and angry.
Nowadays, I understand they were trying to build up a business (and more or less succeeded). I've had periods when I started a freelance business and worked too much, but now that I've got a daughter, family comes first. But maybe that's a luxury.
- sokoloff 5y agoIs it perhaps a luxury afforded in part from prior investments (in the form of hard work to launch and nurture these past businesses)?
- bartvk 5y agoI hadn’t thought about it like that, but that does actually have a bit of truth to it. Realistically though, I realized that I was doing dumb, badly paying projects and then decided I needed to get good, well paying clients :D So no successful serial entrepreneur story there, more like deciding to charge more and invest the remainder in the stock market :-)
