Founder burnout Anonymous 2016-02-05 08:04:55 Post No. 1078616 [Report]

Any other founder here burnt out by their job?

I mean, it's been almost 5 years since I started my company, the last 1.5 year I've been completely slacking off. I can't find the motivation anymore, the worst part is that I'm sure the business still has a lot of potential if I really work on it.
I'm actually making money without doing much, I feel almost shameful about it.

I want to get work done but can't get any motivation to apply it on my business. I'm almost envious of people with 9-5 jobs that don't have to ask questions and just get the work done.

Please tell me how much wrong I am, how much the 9-5 slavery sucks and how I'm a fucking coward for not embracing this opportunity.

i'm a bit lost yeah at that time, if any other founder has been through it, I'd welcome any advice.

Business is around mobile apps.

what's your business? I worked for a small company and the people at the top made a shit ton of money and everyone else didn't. It was very demoralizing, given the people who made the money were all part of the same family. Woo, nepotism.

You should feel shameful about not working hard, and you should pay your employees more, if you can. If you feel you're making money unjustifiably, then you should feel sad that you are and act on those morales. You'll feel better in the long run about doing good for the community. you can always pay them less if the company is making less, but it will incentivize people to care about the company more.

So, maybe invest your money or something? Or start a new project? You're upset because you're stagnating

Just out of curiosity, how much are you making?
