Some of my 9 to 5 friends are always like “Is this it? Is this all there is to life!” (alien.top)

But for myself, and many of my entrepreneur peers, we’re like “Man, I hope this is it. I can’t really handle any more adventurous challenges, business or otherwise.”

I take for granted that the life of an entrepreneur is filled with risk taking, fast-paced decision making, day-to-day all-in execution, make-or-break meetings, limitless creative demands, and other edge-of-the-cliff professional activities.

This reality makes life seem so dynamic and ever-changing. Mix that in with a robust personal life/schedule and you’re sometimes hanging on by the seat of your pants (so to speak).

How can anyone stand living any other way?

My hats off to you business makers and dream chasers. I’d love to hear how you juggle your hectic work and home lives and the perspective that keeps you motivated everyday.

Dude, get your shit together. The goal and pride of any entrepreneur should be building a successful business, not having a crazy schedule. Take some time, go mountain climbing, whatever, then get back to work and get your head in the game. Learn how to prioritize, use productivity tools, get an organizational consultant. As an entrepreneur, seek business success, not adrenaline.

Easy. Get a career that you love with work that challenges you. Have an active and varied life outside of work. This is what I did. I've had a great life. No regrets.
