stay positive

I hired my first employee this month and picked up a new client this week, with two more proposals about to be sent off later tonight. I'm very thankful that my (small) company and I are in the position we're in today. A certain type of stress that I can't even describe has been lifted off my shoulders. Not too long ago, I was really stressing about finances and seriously considering shutting everything down and just getting a regular 9-to-5 job. Don't get me wrong, I still consider it from time to time, but not nearly to the same degree.
 
I hope everyone is finding success. if you've found success write what you were thankful for today
This is something that I love about this forum, is the random bursts of inspiration you find scattered throughout, and it seems it comes always at the time you need it most.

As of lately I have been experiecing a lot of fatigue, I've worked on building 5-6 websites now for the last 9 or so months, only for the grind to be slower, and more agonozing than I could ever have expected. I've burnt money, I've burnt hundreds, maybe thousands of mental hours taxing my brain with sleepless nights, stuck awake thinking about the outcomes of tomorrows coding sessions only to find myself right back to doing all this coding, for minor funds, minor growth because it's passion driven.

But I guess this is applicable in every field right? Everyone at some point feels burn out, I am just still learning how I will get through the burn out this time.

Thanks for your kind words, Dreamharder!
