Most founders try to be the wave; ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐œ๐ž, ๐ซ๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ.

I've watched brilliant founders crash like waves against rocks.

They mistake burnout for dedication, exhaustion for progress.

The founders who last understand:
You don't need to be "on" 24/7 to build something extraordinary.
You need to be ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ญ, ๐š๐๐š๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐๐ž๐ž๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ž.
Your business needs your sustainable energy, not your depleted intensity.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pull back, like the tide.

The ocean doesn't apologize for needing rhythm.
