This is a thought I struggle with a lot: Do I want it enough?
With “it,” I mean being a founder, wanting startup success and actually the idea of “deserving success.” I have these thoughts especially on the weekends and evenings, you know, when I’m NOT working. I might be watching a movie, hanging with my friends or my partner.
In these moments I often hear this voice in the back of my mind: “you don’t want it enough. If you would, you would get up…walk into the office and FUCKING WORK”…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the realization I’m coming to, or at least trying to get into my head: Why? I honestly can’t fully tell you. I want it. Apparently I want it bad enough to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So this goes to the little voice in my head: Fuck you, yes, I want it enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And after all I’m trying to build a company that allows me to live a good life, and that includes regularly NOT working. I am good.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This goes to the little voice in my head: Fuck you, yes I want it enough. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-startup"],"yoast_head":"\n
Yes, I DO want it enough. Yes, I AM working enough. Heck, I’m working 10-hour days, 5 times a week and sometimes indeed do some stuff on the weekends as well.
I gave up my highly paid job for this. I’ve been living off savings for quite a while already, savings that I could have bought a nice car from or gone on a world trip. I didn’t. I took that money and I’m burning\/investing it to do this. To get this company off the ground. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
