I got a real job and it restructured me
Get a job. Entrepreneurship is a mental game. You need extreme resilience and optimism. I know it because I spent 5 years in the wrong state. Entitled to my hard work. Envious of others' success. Emotional when things don't go as planned. So I quit in 2021 and got a real job. I can't explain why, but it restructured me. In 2022, I didn't come back stronger, but with a completely different mindset that enabled my current journey. The same thing is happening right now to @dagorenouf. After his 9-5 at CompAI, he's back different. I root for everyone working on their entrepreneurship journey, especially you, Tiago. Sometimes I think it's better to have a break than to push harder. It worked for me.
