Dad, I recently started my own company and it’s stressful. How do I deal with the stress? (feddit.nl)

It’s a construction company. Started a year ago, finally starting to get into the black. But I’m working 7 days a week now and constantly am thinking about it or on the phone or at work and my wife is starting to get irritated with me for it.

Starting a company is brave and takes a lot of work. You've done something amazing.

But you're a finite resource. You can't make your company succeed if you yourself start to fall apart. Part of keeping your company going is keeping YOU going. Make time for your family away from the work. Make time for your mental health. Take time to relax. These are tasks that are necessary to keep your company afloat.

The work will be there when you return, and you'll be better and faster at it if you're rested.

Good luck!

That actually did make me feel better. I got two more weekends I have booked in but maybe I’ll make a rule for no phone calls or bookings on sundays or something. Thanks dad!
