Sleep On It
I recently started watching the Netflix show, House Of Cards and in episode 1 Kevin Spacey’s character Frank J. Underwood has a great quote.
“I never make such big decisions so long after sunset and so far from dawn.”
What an eloquent way to just say that you need to sleep on it. I tend to work around the clock but I try to follow this advice. If there is an important email or decision to be made, I don’t do that at 1AM. More than likely that question or issue will be there in the morning. I’m not dealing with anything life or death here and knowing when to shut down for the day and taking the time to weigh a decision is important.
“…There’s 24 hours in the day, there’s not 8 there’s not 10 there’s not 12. So, as long as I can stay away.” - Gold Rush
You can go far on hard work and big dreams, often a hell of a lot farther - an faster - than people with more education and experience.
As you build your company, your biggest investment will be your time, and no one in your business is going to invest as much time in as you, nor will anyone have the same impact as you.

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

You don’t need anyone else’s permission to create. Greenlight yourself and get to work.
