A simple piece of advice that took a long time to learn
Here's a simple piece of advice for founders. It took me a long time to learn it, and it's pretty hard to do, but once properly done, it's very effective: you need to learn when to walk away sometimes. And I don't mean walk away from your business — I mean walk away from your laptop.
When frustration takes over, you've stopped being productive
There are moments you're going to be working for hours, and you're so frustrated you want to grab your machine and throw it out the window. You want to break your chair. You want to flip over your desk. That's the point where you stop being productive. You're just angry, you're frustrated, and no matter what you do, there's no logic behind it at that stage.
What to actually do
This is when it's important to walk away. Know when you start to get frustrated. Know when things are starting to go the wrong way. Shut down your laptop. Take a walk. Get some water. Spend some time with friends and family. Go out a bit. Then come back and restart.
A simple trick that makes things easier
That simple trick has helped me so much in life. Try it out, and next time you'll see how much easier things get once you implement this.
