Hey guys,

finally made my way to the forum. I must've read MJ's book 10 times and realized I've been stuck in the slow lane for a long time now. Am in need to some advice?!

I invested with a family member in a business because I didn't have a job 5 years ago and now they left the business all to me and not asked for anything back.

The problem is not the money, I have dug a hole for myself and the business is running me. Dont get me wrong I use to make $2000 a month to now I make $10000 a month. I know that might seem dumb to some of you, But this is killing me. I work 8:30-10pm 7 days a week and its been like that for 2 years now. I dont know how to get out of it and whenever I get the down time, I squander it doing meaningless things.

As I get older my ideas book has been getting less and less probably cause I am burnt out.

So my real question how'd you guys do it break the cycle ? How did you stop the cycle of this repetitiveness?

Thanks
