Entrepreneurial Insomnia
Tonight I am suffering from entrepreneurial insomnia. AdAble, Inc. has soft launched and the pieces are coming together… the team, product, capital, and business plan. So, why can’t I sleep?
It’s not from worry. It’s from excitement and analysis. Business scenarios, investment pitches, financing instruments, customer relationships, marketing, branding, legal work and banking.
It’s constant iterations of scenarios, ideas, and plans. Where are the holes? What are the risks? What can be mitigated? What are the priorities?
This isn’t the first night of entrepreneurial insomnia I’ve suffered. Sometimes I can cure it through reading a good mystery book. Some nights, like tonight, I blog. Sometimes I work.
I know it’s something that other entrepreneurs go through. What kind of strategies do you use to silence your mind at night?
