"They say that when you become a founder, you go from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Nobody fully understands what that feels like until you actually become a founder because it’s a job you’ve never held before. There is no training. You can’t really go to school for it (though many try). It’s something you have to do by just diving in. When you jump off the cliff, it’s a black hole and you have no clear idea how you’ll feel until you just do it."
Christine everything you wrote was SO relatable to me!
As a first-time founder I've noticed that it's hard to explain what I'm actually going through to my employed friends.
I've also found that being able to tolerate all the highs, as well as the lows has become my superpower ahah... There are days when I feel unstoppable, I will conquer my target market, and days when the silence is deafening.
Thank you for putting words on something I've been feeling a lot lately!
Every founder is in the same boat, and sometimes it's a lonely vessel. So glad it resonated with you - you're not alone! Keep going, the sun always peeks out after long, dark days. It's worth it.
