It's really hard, especially during the first couple years, but my only perspective is as a bootstrapper, I think funded people maybe have more flexibility (or maybe not? I dunno).

My experience is that you just have to force yourself to stop working. It's terribly easy to let your business tak over your life. Me, I just force myself to forget about everything but the bat-phone on Sundays.

I can't reply as a funded person since I'm also a bootstrapper, but having done work for some startups they typically have directors which work for the funding group that sit around and make sure their money is working hard. So I imagine they have less flexibility.
