The Entrepreneur’s Paradox

October 15, 2025

Entrepreneurship is often romanticized, but there’s a paradox few discuss: the pursuit of your dream can threaten everything else in your life. Your time, health, and relationships are all at risk. I’ve learned this firsthand: success is empty if you lose yourself along the way.

My Anchor

My center is Soma. Through business pivots, sleepless nights, and moments of doubt, she’s been my constant. She doesn’t fix the chaos, but she remains present through it all.

Every founder talks about their “why”. Mine shows up every day: calm, steady, and real.

Quiet Strength

She’s built an amazing career, is literally changing the world through philanthropy, and still makes time to support me. She’s the quiet strength behind everything I do.

Conclusion

The entrepreneurial journey is demanding. It can easily consume your time, energy, and relationships, leading to burnout and a sense of emptiness even amidst success. Finding your center is crucial for navigating the challenges.

Having a supportive partner, friend, or family member who provides stability and understanding can make all the difference. Remember to nurture these relationships and prioritize your well-being.

Who is your center? Take a moment to appreciate the people who keep you grounded.
