Startup Persons

You have probably noticed that we talk a lot about our life as "startup persons".

Well, It's really easy to explain.

We wake up in the morning, press the "power button" of the iPhone and read the new mails.

Then we run to the computer, and while we brush our teeth, we start to answer the mails.

After a few hours or so, we remember that we need to eat something (most of the time it will be Junk-food) – This part happens twice a day … (late noon / after noon and late night …).

Between the late afternoon and the evening we try to play with our children, enjoy the family and from time to time (2 minutes to 5 minutes), we re-checking emails on the iPhone :).

After making bath to the children, we have "only 2 mails" that we need to work on, and then it takes about 5 hours or so :).

In the late night, we go to sleep and wake up to the … mails.

We work like this all week, weekends, holidays, etc., and it's unbelievable – we are enjoying every moment – yes! The start-up passion is deep in our blood.

And it's time to confess – it's all about the partners in our life, that understand, help, support and love.

After all, how many people call their husband/wife and shout at him/her to "stay by the computer so you will clean your calendar from the missions of today"?

How many people can understand the ups and downs (that happen a lot …)? Etc., etc., etc.

So if you asked me for one advice about how to build a start-up, I'll tell you that it starts at home, with your partner for life - this is

the first building block.

So thanks to my dear wife for being there for me!
