I am entering the fourth month of second entrepreneurial attemp. It feels harder than my last attemp, which failed. I have no funding (yet) and I have a child now. I can't keep 8 hours straight sleep.
Will my body cracks? I interviewed my mom this morning, who failed her several attempts in business and got lupus erythematosus.
She said that she never felt tired at that time. She just worked and worked. She used to be called the Never Tired Woman. But her businesse just didn't work. Then one day, she felt so tired. It turned out that she had this problem called lupus erythematosus. Then she gave up her career as entrepreneur. That was fifteen years ago, when she was in her fourth year as businesswoman rather than clerk.
I heard successful entrepreneurs adviced us to work as hard as you can. But what does that acutally mean? Should I work so hard as to hurt my health? My mom's story tells me, health is the prerequisite for entrepreneurship. As for working hard, there is bottom line there.
