Good post, thanks for opening up about that. I think a lot of people are in your shoes where they are very ambitious and have a drive to succeed so push themselves as much as they can to achieve what they are going after.
At the end of the day, you just need to do what's right for you. Maybe the pace that you're working at now won't suit you 10-20 years from now (or earlier), or maybe it always will.
There's a saying in the real estate development world (I'm not a real estate developer but I deal with them quite a lot in my job) that 'it doesn't matter how many deals you let go, just as long as you don't accept a bad deal'.
None of us can do everything and if we choose to do something, that automatically means there are other opportunities that we need to let let slip away.
Just food for thought I guess.
Good luck!
Thanks jen8. I'm glad I wrote it and your advice is bang on. I am fighting to determine what is right for me now. I am starting to learn that maybe this pace won't always be for me. Yet I have defined myself for the last 16 years this way so it is a challenge....but soooo worth it.
