Applying Startup Lessons To Family Life

There’s a reason why a lot of startup founders tend to be relatively young and single. Creating a business from scratch is one of the most difficult tasks anyone can undertake, and nurturing that creation to maturity requires an obsessive level of time and attention. It takes a certain touch of madness to drive a person to work longer and harder without the prospect of thanks. At moments, you wonder if it’s all worth it, but just when you’re ready to give up you’ll experience a small victory, encouraging you to do it all again. The thought of taking on such a challenge while shouldering the responsibility of raising a young family seems like an impossible task, but I'm proof that it can be done. It turns out that startup and family life aren’t that different after all.
