FOUNDER TO FOUNDER:
Burnout kills good ideas early.
It's the enemy of creativity. The antidote is authenticity.
Authenticity wins every time
Most founders treat burnout as a badge until it takes them out completely. The idea wasn't the problem. The pace was. Protect your energy like it's your most valuable asset, because it is.
And usually right before the breakthrough.
The idea wasn’t the problem.
The unsustainable pace was.
The idea isn’t the problem.
The pace usually is.
Rest is part of the strategy, not a break from it.
