Q: "Do you have time for private life in Silicon Valley?"
A: "What's this?" and then LOL because you know you are doing too little for your personal life...
If you would give only 15% more of your focused time to your spouse, kids, father, mother, friends... they would value it a lot! And it would be your long-term success! Are you ready to make such a small sacrifice for your "private life start-up"?
- AnimalMuppet 12y agoI wish I had really understood this 20 years ago. And I wasn't even in a startup. I just had things I wanted to work on that took time. Good things, useful things, but I put time/energy/thought into them that should have been spent on my kids.
