Why are you doing this?

I don’t believe in the hustle always mentality.

I think it is a recipe for burnout, and gleefully talking about working 20+ hours a day is not why I got into this game.

If I wanted to work 20+ hours a day, I would get a job. I work for myself so I can have freedom. Freedom to travel. Freedom to nap. Freedom to do whatever I want.

That is what you are working for, and it’s important for me to remember that.

Your drive may be different, but it’s important to know that drive, so you can come back to it.

It’s easy to get lost in the weeds, and just keep going, but I doubt oppressive work conditions were why you worm for yourself.

Yes, sometimes you have to work when you don’t want to, or harder than you would like. Sometimes you will miss important moments, and sometimes you will hate yourself.

But you should always come back to remembering why you are doing this in the first place.

In that way, you will always vbe able to reset yourself to true north.

For me, it’s freedom. What is it for you?
