It doesn't, but it does too. Time is 24/7 and never stops even if you do. If you have a great idea and you believe that in it, you will be fueled to go 24/7.

It doesn't, but it does too. Time is 24/7 and never stops even if you do. If you have a great idea and you believe that in it, you will be fueled to go 24/7. If you are afraid other's might beat you to it, you will have no choice but to go 24/7. The worst feeling in the world is having a great idea, slack at it, and having others thoroughly beat you and stomp you to the ground. While they are gaining traction, you are playing catch up. And you never catch up. No founder wants to experience that, this is why startup life for most is a 24/7 grind.
Because the prize most are after is the highest level. If you want to start a business making $500k a year. You don't have to grind. But if you want a chance at millions or billions then yes, you do have to grind. You are competing at the highest level. It's like preparing for the Olympics.
In everything in life, there are exceptions. But such are not the norm or the rule.
- mindcrime 14y agoNot sure why you got downvoted for that. I can see how a reasonable person could disagree, but your position is certainly not outlandish. In fact, I - by and large - agree with you. Especially this bit: If you want to start a business making $500k a year. You don't have to grind. But if you want a chance at millions or billions then yes, you do have to grind. You are competing at the highest level. Yeah, if your ambitions are that grand, you can't really expect anything to come easily... personally I feel like you have to be willing to scrape, kick, scratch, claw, bleed, hustle and basically battle your ass off if you're going to get there.
