This couldn’t be more relevant for anyone building a startup.
You see the end result - a successful business, a growing team, maybe even some media spotlight and think “I want that.”
What you don’t see is the grind behind it.
The sleepless nights, the rejections, the pivots and the uncertainty that comes with every new decision.
The reality is that building a startup requires sacrifices that most aren’t willing to make, whether it’s time away from family or the stress that comes with knowing every success (or failure) falls on your shoulders and don't get me started on "how and when are we going to generate revenue"
But here’s the thing, those who are truly passionate about their venture, who love the journey as much as the outcome, are the ones who can endure the path.
So, next time you feel envy creeping in, remember - you’re seeing someone’s highlight reel, not their struggles.
This is why it’s so important, for those who can, support the ones in the trenches.
