Turns out, building a startup and staying sane is harder than it looks

When your startup scales beyond the version of you that built it, it’s not failure, it’s growth. The real challenge is knowing when to evolve with the company or step aside so it can keep thriving. Sometimes the most Founder move you can make... is letting go.

By reevaluating goals and priorities, Founders may discover the benefits of a steady and enduring approach that aligns with their vision and values, which can be mountains better than just "scaling rapidly" with no direction.

There's very little preventing us from designing our startups around our life goals. It starts with us being very clear about what we want to achieve and then taking clear, small steps toward those outcomes.

Being a Founder is an integral part of our identity, and setbacks with one startup shouldn't make us doubt our ability to succeed in the role. After all, being a Founder isn't just a job – it's a deeply ingrained part of our DNA.
