Work-life balance is a fairy tale for people who aren’t serious. You want balance, go get a yoga mat. You want success? Embrace the imbalance.
Here’s how I see it: when you're building something great, there’s no 50/50. It’s all-in or don’t bother. Family and friends will understand if they’re on the same page. If not, they'll complain - and that's fine. But success doesn’t wait for balance; it rewards obsession.
