4-5 years ago I read a story about a guy who was trying to get back from vacation in time to make it to work on a Monday morning so he would not have to take a day off the next day and "miss more work". Was driving though the night, killed his wife and two kids when he fell asleep at the wheel, I don'e even think he had equity in the company. Totally changed the way I ran my business and the way I worked. This blog post is dead on.

Yeah I'm glad I didn't have to go through all that to realize that happiness and satisfaction has to start NOW. Don't push it off to some rose-tinted future of the ROI of investing heavily in a startup. Startups should be built with sustainable happiness in mind.
