Entrepreneurship's Dirty Little Secret

Can't Sleep

What they don’t tell you about owning your own business is that you’ll never sleep soundly again. It seems I cannot fall asleep anymore without lying in bed for hours, unable to turn off my mind. I lie there thinking “how can I get more investors?” “How much money will it cost me if I lease site A?” “Should we buy Yahoo ads?” “Don’t forget to work on X, Y and Z tomorrow.” On and on it goes, scenarios playing out in my mind, worries plaguing my thoughts, until hours have passed and I have to take a sleeping pill or somehow reset my mind and block out all of my thoughts. I’m tired.
