Wuh? Yes starting a business is HARD, but you don't need to cut out everything else in life.
Yes, things GO UNBLANCED, but you still can live and enjoy life.
When I was starting, it was WORK, GYM, FRIENDS (had very few since I was in a new city) and SLEEP.
Where are you getting this idea that you have to ditch your family if you start a business?
My mindset was if I can cut out most "luxuries", then I can focus on the most important. I know I am one to go extreme with things, and I obviously lost my sense when I began to contemplate "family" in that mix.
I think I overindulged in the videos/books of startup founders, where they talk about how much they had to sacrifice to build their start up and how they just lived/breathed their businesses for years.
I guess I'm trying to implement this idea of "sacrifice for the short term, so you can enjoy in the long term"
but yea everyone on here is spot on, I shouldn't even be considering this as an option.
