I admire your work ethic, but I see familiar patterns in your actions that lead to burnout. On one hand I know you have a product to deliver, but on the other hand this isn't quite as simple as just running a business. I think part of being successful with anything is knowing when to push and when to back off, and that's a fine line at times.
This isn't a criticism. I just hope to see you get to a point in the future where you don't feel a never-ending pressure. I only ask this because I really relate to these over demanding patterns you exhibit. But do you feel that you might have some undiscovered or lingering beliefs that effect your behavior in this way? I might be wrong about this one, but I also feel as if when most people are under more stress their survival mechanisms kick in. Deep ingrained mechanisms that might have been developed in childhood.
Obviously I don't know you super well, so I might just be getting these impressions based solely on the more stressful aspects of this whole process.
Dude, just take a look at how some people here treat Shannon.
