Don’t tie your whole identity to the work you do.

One of my founder friends is going through a tough time.

They had spent the majority portion of all days in the last several months working on it. Internal conflicts have cornered them into a tight spot.

Diving deeper, it hit my friend bad because it cast a shadow of doubt on their self-worth. It’s when you start doubting your previous related wins and subconsciously ask yourself was I lucky that previous time? It’s a shithole to be in.

Diversify your win channels.

Do something outside work that you like. It’s better to prepare before. Have friends who know your entire journey so they can be your pillars of support when you need it.

Don’t tie your whole identity to the work you do.
