The startup mindset: Will I ever be content?
Over the last year I've put so much thought and time into startups ideas and projects. I've always been interseted in web businesses and I started working on my first e-commerce website about 4 years ago back in high school. I never took it quite as seriously back then, it was just a bit of fun when I was bored.
Lately I've been thinking non-stop about creating a successful startup. I worry that I'm getting older and I have no clear path to success. In reality I'm only 20 and I've had more success with jobs and projects than most people my age.
What worrys me though is that this fear I have of not succeeding has massive negative affects on the rest of my life. For a start I hardly sleep anymore. Over the last 3 days I've had just 10 hours sleep. I want to sleep right now, but won't because I don't want to waste this time I have. I find myself getting angry with friends because I can't just sit down and just relax, I need to be doing something.
The way I see it is that if I only live once, I need to make the best of the life I have. I want to experience as much as I can but I need money to do that. I couldn't think of anything worse than when I'm old knowing that only thing I did in life was work my ass off for someone elses gain.
I hope I don't regert how I am now in 20 years time.
