How Do Startup Founders Sacrifice Their Mental Health
Founder cannot quit their job, unlike their employees. You have to weather through the challenges whether or not you want to.
You might think that starting a company will be liberating, but it might end up quite the opposite. James has a really nice quote on this - “The Difference between a castle and the prison is with whoever holds the key.”
Imagine going years on end, wanting to leave the company, and not being able to because you are responsible for your employees, investments and customers. Turns out more people than you’d like are doing this every day.
