Running a startup rarely makes sense. You are pushing on and on despite all warning signals telling you not to.
You barely have money left. Most of your friends have been reduced to ghosts and memories, You can't recall the last time you saw some of your family and you are constantly working. Working instead of eating, working late into the nights and beyond, working when you're supposed to be taking time of and resting. It's so easy to get tunnel vision and descending down the rabbit hole if you are not careful. Easy to forget to check if you're doing the right things properly. Easy to ignore or rationalize having blown every single deadline and budget you made.
When you compare startups with usual 9-5 salary work, it's actually amazing how much risk founders take and how incredibly hard they work. And people wonder why startup founders - the very few that actually make it - get so much more money than the employees.
