My biggest qualm with entrepreneurship culture is the absolutely obsessive focus on creating a valuable business at the expense of your personal life.

All things considered, it’s relatively simple to make money in this world. You do a thing that people want, and they give you money. There’s endless content about how to do this successfully, but orders of magnitude less that talk about how to craft a meaningful life (empowered by your business).

Sure — business can be uncomfortable and require a lot, which can conflict with the desire to be happy. Personally, I’m far more interested in the content, work, philosophies, and people that promote the idea of a well-lived life than the kind that focuses entirely on the methods themselves. From my experience, it's harder to figure out what you want, who you want to be, and the life you want to have… than it is to get good at business. Which is why we often default to only feeding that part of ourselves.

Don’t build a business at the expense of building a meaningful life.
