Also, I've realized that I also have crazy downtimes or crashes that are bigger than them. In those times, I appreciate the stability and the calm in the other founders. So I'd challenge you to make a list of positive characteristics in your partner that aren't necessarily in you. I could not agree more with this. As someone who functions at 100% or nothing, it is unbelievably helpful to have someone who is more stable. When I am going there is no stopping, pretty much everything is put aside whether it be eating, sleeping, exercise, seeing friends or anything else. But when all that stuff that I put aside finally catches up to me and I need some time to recharge, I am so glad to have people around me who are stable and able to keep things going. I think having people who bring both enthusiasm and stability is really important. When crunch time comes it's great to have people willing to lay it all out there to get what needs to be done regardless of what that entails, but at the same time having people who you know will be steady and reliable is really important because a company without consistency is normally destined to fail.
