Building a Startup Is Like Running a Marathon at a Spring Pace — Here Are 4 Ways to Cope
Let it go. </b></h2>
Remember above where I said I spent the first 12 months in the U.S. flying cross country, raising my kids and hiring a team all at the same time? I hired that team for a reason — because they're the best. I wouldn't have hired them if they weren't. I hired them to do the things that I can't do, and I hired them so I can do the things I can </i>do.</p>
Running a startup is the most draining yet most rewarding experience of my life. It brings out raw, heady emotions across every twist and turn. For those who are thinking about it or are in the trenches at the moment, be real with yourself. Recognize that you've chosen a challenging path — with every one step backwards you may take three or four steps forward. Failure is okay, as long as you learn, iterate and move forward.</p>
You will burn out, and that's okay too.</p>
It's what you do after the burnout that matters.</p>
