Starting a family and a business at the same time
I’m writing on a subway train heading home to Brooklyn from a meeting in the Upper West Side. I never blog anymore… I miss it. I’m anxious to get back into it because it kept me in touch in ways I’m not right now.
In the last year and a half I’ve been splitting my attention, energy, and efforts in two ways: this startup business, and our first pregnancy and birth: Nicolas "Nico" Oliva.
I’m happy to say that both the family and the business are doing great. Of course, you can never devote as much time as you would like to either, but I feel great about the time I spend with my wife and son, and I feel like whereIstand has gotten to where so much happens without me that I can turn my attention to different parts of the business without worrying so much about things not getting done.
Well.. to some extent, anyway. We’re a startup and as such we can never move quickly enough on things to be satisfied.
This is something of an "I’m back" entry. It’s not the first one I’ve written, so you can spank me later if I don’t stick to it.
