What They Don’t Tell You About Being An Entrepreneur

The most defining aspect of working on a startup that never strikes success, that you usually don't hear about, is having all but your very closest relationships deteriorate and friends all drift slowly away. This loss you can never really get back, unless you're wildly successful.

That's the highest cost of bootstrapping, if you ask me.

I don't understand why keeping a reasonable work-life balance is impossible.

  Recruit help if you absolutely need it,

  stop doing the things that don't matter,

  or just slow down.

I should check myself into the nearest startup addict recovery center.
