Personal preference but I don’t trust anyone who says they want to build something meaningful and still lives like their calendar is empty.

Building at a high level means you’re dropping balls elsewhere. Your social life takes a hit. Your comfort disappears. You lose the illusion of balance. It’s not dysfunction that’s just the trade and  pretending otherwise is how people waste 5 years “planning.”

We’ve romanticized building to the point where people think it should feel good all the time. But the truth is: if you aren’t occasionally doubting your sanity, you’re not pushing hard enough.

this. So much this. Ive started calling upon others to request  sanity checks & welcome anybody to do the same.
