I am finally starting to get a glimpse of what life has been like for my hubby, the serial entrepreneur, for the past 5 years. The looooonnnggg hours, the obsessive checking of the various electronic equipment, the emotional roller-coaster and the extreme fatigue. There is definitely a rush that comes with starting something new, something that is yours to mold and shape, and it can become all consuming if you let it. I did not understand that rush until I became a business owner myself, and now I seem to be the one up til the wee hours of the morning trying to check things off the endless to-do lists. And I seem to be the one constantly checking my iphone or finding excuses to head to the basement so I can sit down at my computer for a few precious minutes. Of course, I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t want to and I consider myself fortunate to FINALLY have found something I so enjoy doing that I am willing to sacrifice even more of my few precious hours of sleep for it. But, it all takes its toll no? My kids are more grouchy and definitely more needy, they are used to getting all of mom and now they have to settle for less – my mind justifies it as quality over quantity, but these days, its not quality when your iphone is permanently attached to your right hand. So, as part of this journey I need to slow down, prioritize and just enjoy the ride…and put down that damn iphone!
