How do you cope? Obviously you are doing things right since you are continually passionate and moving strongly forward with developing your product. Still, with that inevitably comes the concern of failure, be that in relationships, financially, mentally, the idea overall, etc. after giving up the much more stable life you had before. This must affect you, and I know that because I'm working hard at building a business as well.
I hope you succeed in what you are doing, both for the safety factor in sports and your own personal goals, but I see firsthand how tough it can get mentally. I cope by remaining well rounded in other aspects of life that appeal to me, like exercising, having scheduled time just for me, and taking a five minute walk every hour while I'm at work. I fully believe I will be financially successful one day because of what I'm doing now, and I'm coping with the stress of it all very well I like to think.
I wanted to ask you how you do it both because I feel it is smart for current entrepreneurs to compare notes and build off one another in how they get through the pre-success stress, and because I think it is important for aspiring entrepreneurs to know ways they can help themselves out in the beginning by reducing their stress levels through tried-and-true methods that have worked for others.
