#4I love the ending of your article! Cheer up. You're the one running the company, what the hell do the VCs know. They get a pay check regardless of how many hours they show up for work. high five

Thanks Kirill, but I am cheered up. :) When I was first told, it took me by surprise and I've since thought a lot about it. Once I spent some time really processing it, I had to write down what I realized.

#6(In my experience,) Tired isn't sustainable. It might indeed prove you have the grit to make it, but don't make a lifestyle out of it please.

I'd agree that "tired" ie, without energy or running on fumes isn't sustainable. But I'm more speaking about the ups & downs of "tired." If you don't have the energy to do what you're doing and are using something else to get you through each day, ie, way too much caffeine, drugs, etc. Then yeah, you gotta make some changes.

totally agree. I've been tired for 3 years and eventually you discover you just have to give sone things up or not operate at full intensity at all times. otherwise you'll be doing everything crappily

#9I get your point and I believe that quite sucks.
There might be a number of reasons why they do that. Maybe it's just a reason they give for rejection while the real reason is somewhat uncomfortable to say. Maybe they are afraid that you will burn out (and that's legitimate concern, take a break!). Maybe someone enthusiastic just gives a better feeling, vibe, something not very conscious. Because while you are with someone energetic, optimistic, you suddenly become like him. When you are with someone exhausted, you might start to feel the same.
I get your pain, I respect your hard work, but I'd suggest to put yourself in their shoes - maybe there's something you haven't noticed? :)

#10Some people thrive on finding other peoples' weaknesses, especially those based upon appearances. In PUA terms they're negging you.
