One final piece of advice: Have fun!
I remember having a conversation early on with Bob our one Angel Investor. Bob is a brilliant technologist and an industry legend.
Bob asked me, “Are you having fun?”
I immediately answered, “I’m having the time of my life.”
And that’s how it should be for you too. Yes, there are lots of things to do.
Yes, you have to recruit, and execute, and manage your money, and work with investors, and deal with countless unexpected problems, but you should still be having fun at the end of the day.
As I said to Bob that day, “Even the bad days are good.”
