Balancing Startup Life And Family

Building a business while starting a family.

It took 3 years, 6 months, and 25 days for my business to hit break-even.

Those were days filled with stress, anxiety, and sleepless nights.

During this time, I:

  • Got married
  • Started my family
  • Welcomed twin kids into the world.

Initially, I thought that family life should wait.

But I'm so glad I silenced that voice in my head.

That's the one big thing I chose not to delay.

Everything else, I had to put away.

If you're on this journey, you realize some dreams will have to wait.

It's a small price we all have to pay.

But delaying others might carry a heavier cost.

Life isn't a neatly organized sequence of events.

Sometimes, the best things happen when least expected.

I'm glad I didn't wait.
