I have seen so many families tearing up due to this mindset of founders that they have to give their 100 percent time to their startups and not to their families.
If you are a first gen entrepreneur, then 3 years min is gone. Untill your company reaches critical mass, you have to think, eat and sleep your business.
Why I say 3 years?. Is because coming froma salaried environment, our thinking/ thought process is different. It's takes time to think and act like a businessman. And usually it takes at least 2 years to setup a sustainable business. Meaning the profits earned from the business should cover your living expenses, give confidence for some extra investment for expansion.
A first gen entrepreneur cannot become successful without family support.
My parents did it and they weren't around much, which they do regret later in life
I'm trying to learn from their mistakes and making time for people in life
But will working 15-16 hours justify in the name of building something and leaving family
I'm surprised to see on the comment section that people actually support this load of crap.
