Happy new year 2025
This year has been the hardest of my life, but also the most wonderful.
Some days I am just surviving, and others are glorious. Many are both.
I was quite down on new year’s day. I have spent the past few months focused on making it to Christmas, and many things had been put in the ‘next year’ basket.
Now that next year is here, I have to deal with all that stuff.
It was overwhelming, especially since I return to work in only a few days. All my lofty ideas have to be turned into action.
After the first few months of 2024, I gave myself a free pass to focus solely on my son for the rest of the year. I found it really stressful to try to be an entrepreneur and a dad at the same time. They felt like opposite personalities.
I tend to go to extremes, so I either want to be superdad or superbusinessman and there’s nothing in between.
If I try to do both, I burn myself out with crazy expectations.
My challenge this year is to take the middle road, and find a way of doing both in a sustainable way.
