So it's almost 7 AM over here and I couldn't fall asleep through the night. I'm now distracting myself a bit.
Basically I have very good idea why that is. I was supposed to meet the academic I wanted as a consultant for my start-up today. I'm going to have to reschedule, at least. The thing is - I don't actually want him, I'm not sure I need him.
I only wanted him as a way to make my project more trustable, as perceived by investors. I got caught up in making it look attractive from the outside and I forgot to take care of my vision first. I wasn't aware of how much that weighed on me until now.
That doesn't mean I won't try to get him anyway. It just means I'll have to consider the matter from ALL sides and be willing to skip on this opportunity, even if that means hurting my startup's initial perceived value. I'm giving myself some time to decide.
