Solo founder (with VC), sold after 15 years (last 13 highly profitable).
Good question. Trying to invest carefully, enjoy life and undo the damage entrepreneurship did to my friendships, hobbies... No 40+ hours/week jobs any more, thank you.
How do you "Undo" the damage? Really interested in that part.
You dont have to be an entrepreneur to be super busy. Some part of the world expect you to work at at least 80 hours a week. So i guess this is good for everyone to know.

Lost time is lost, but you can get in touch with old friends, apologise to people you ignored because you were busy, find new hobbies, travel... At least that's what I'm trying to do. I also lost 2 close family members during that time and deeply regret not having spent more time with them, but that's just how it is.

I'd still disagree, it means a lot and makes life so much easier. It's just something you tend to take for granted when you have it and other things you don't naturally become more important.
