Never trade your health for your work

I see this happen every month now. Several times a week sometimes. I’m no one to give advice but I’ve been to dark places and found inner peace 5 years ago. I thought I could share what helped me. “ You’re going to die. Your startup is going to 0. And no one will care. “ I repeat this in my head every day so I don’t get emotional about my work. No expectations = no disappointment. “Money doesn’t buy happiness” All rich people say this and of course I didn’t believe them. Until I made enough money to not think about money. Now I realize how true this is. The good news: you don’t need much! Past $10k/month, money doesn’t change your happiness. You’re much closer than that you think. Health Gym energizes me Good sleep makes me focus Too much social media = “I’m a loser” Health is this cheat code that’s hard to crack but once you do, it makes everything else much easier. I’ve been following the same rules for the last 5 years, way before my apps started to make money: I always workout 1hr before work I away turn off the laptop at 6PM I never turn on my phone in the AM Never trade your health for your work. And finally, have fun! Smile! Entrepreneurship is just a game built for adults. People can sense who’s having fun, so in the end, it can even help you reach your goals faster 😊
