The Lag between Here and There
Suffering comes when we see the distance between where we are, and where we think we should be, and sometimes that impacts the people we love.
As a entrepreneur myself, I understand the gap so many other entrepreneurs feel when there seems to be a huge gap between where they are… and where they want to be. That gap can be painful for the entrepreneur, but the people closest can suffer as well.
Sadly, it leads to moments where partners, children, and families feel abandoned, in the pain of the visionary to produce results.
There is a balance to everything, marketing, development, research, bootstrapping.. But without knowing how to find that balance, or partner with the people we love; it can be a lonely vision being the one on the mountain top, looking out over an empire. And I’m sure we all know people who have sacrificed a relationship for a career. But when we’re 80 years old, are we going to look back and say “Wow, I had an amazing empire… and changed the world. But I lost touch with all the people I love.”
If balance is being hard to find, reach out, find help. You don’t have to do it alone.
Reach out to touch someone,
