I was in a 3 year earn-out, followed by another sale and another 3 year earn-out. After all the hard work I put in, I felt so empty… it’s like a grief or something, hard to explain.
I think I reached a weird state of burn-out, but functional burn-out… I craved the high pressure. 🤷🏻♂️
It’s been a year in Feb 2024, but I took some time out (not as much time as I thought I would), but made an effort to visit friends all over the country who I’d not seen for a long time. Slowly but surely I started to get a new vigour for other stuff, putting plans and ideas into focus, and realising that my work only matters to me and others in the industry, it matters not a shit to anyone else. Sounds sad, but you’ve actually got to teach yourself how to live again.
