"Who says that business has to always grow"

Yea that's what I am grappling with. I guess I am becoming the victim of FOMO and Social Media pressures of always doing better in business. For the 1st time in my entire life, I have lost clarity on what I want. It is not just about the money but the confusion is how far is enough ? I want to get to 10M in ARR but it is killing me.

What would happen when you reach 10M? That's just a number. What would happen in the best case scenario, if you sell business for 50 or 100 mil and don't have to work a day in your life? What will make you get up from the bed in that case? Maybe it's time to investigate (by being honest with yourself) what you would do in that imaginary future. And then do a bit of that now. You don't have to wait for the finish line.

Good point. I am too busy chasing that "imaginary future" where I am just not enjoying the present anymore even though I am so privileged to be in the position that I am in already. Thank you for that perspective. I am going to really think hard on how to make the present better.
