Is A Profitable Start-up Always Endless Hours And Stress? Any Experiences With A Better Wlb Growth? I Will Not Promote
I (28M) have a business, engineering and IT background and want to start working 4 days a week to spend 1 day and a yearly budget on working out startup ideas that I like, with the - perhaps naive - belief that one of the ideas over time must be worthwhile pursuing.
However, from friends that have started up businesses and from Reddit I have started seeing it’s pretty much always an intense investment of time + stress to get to consistent profits comparable to my current high-skilled salary; obviously with the risk of failure.
I am generally entrepreneurially minded, love working out ideas, taking risks, connecting people, and investing my energy in ideas I can stand behind. But I also have a pretty cushiony job, with a very decent compensation package, ample leave, and pretty much 100% flexibility (I plan my days and weeks, and nobody would ever ask where I am or what I’m up to; I’m not actively managed, but trusted to deliver). I worked really hard to get to this level, and am now picking the fruits.
Hence: I’m on the fence. Can I sustain a decent work-life balance where I have time for my wife, family and friends, while also building a business with reasonable margins?
I understand you cannot answer that question for me specifically, but I’d like to hear your experience:
\[tl;dr\] is there anyone out there who’s managed to maintain a life parallel to starting up their business?
