I've got a team of 40+ (50% remote) with management for the stables, and I still work just as hard as when it was just me and my dog. But my end game isn't to lead by vacation, it's to drive this fucking company forward. I can't tell if you're doing it right, doing it wrong, hubris, a noob, or simply just awesomer than myself.

I think it's good to have a positive attitude, but I've been grinding for 8 years (the filling in my cookie sandwich is getting pretty thick) and maintaining a constant positive perspective is an impossibility.

Is it worth it ?
An impossible question to answer - changes by the minute, it seems. When we get to finish line, I hope to have a positive answer. Will always beat a real job tho...
"real job", ha you mean a "normal job" the kind people like us can't stand working.
Exactly. I was always an exemplary employee, but always had an underlining annoyance with myself because I was wasting what little time I have on this planet building somebody else's business - made me sick. So did everything I could to get and stay out.
