To start a Relationship is more difficult. but feelings in any relationship play an important role.

It comes down to FOCUS … which is more important to you at that time.

It is harder to have a successful start up without the support of a understanding partner. If you choose to have the start up any way without the support of your partner - then your relationship suffers. (talking from experience)

The best way to have success in both a relationship and a startup is to be on a journey together where you agree to support each other. (yet to experience - but believe it possible)

Everything is Quantum Physics - what you give your attention to is real. Nothing is objective - everything is subjective.

My thought is that they are equally challenging. A start-up after all is a collection of relationships!

Definitely relationships are way more difficult. Taking action and applying focus consistently you can make a start up succeed. A relationship has too many variables and “feelings”.

This is a great, great question. I tend to lean towards Monica & Samurai’s viewpoint, that a healthy relationship is easier to build and maintain, so long as the person you’re with is understanding of the time and energy that you’re investing into your business. That said, if the person you’re with isn’t supportive or requires more of your time and you’re being put in a position to have to choose between the relationship and your business, then this becomes a huge issue. That being said, that’s something you’ve got to deal with in terms of all of the people that are close to you in your life; friends, relatives and that kind of thing. I’ve learned that the ones that truly care about you will be the ones that understand what you’re doing and give you the time & space to go after your dreams.

As for the other question, NO it’s not possible to build an effortless startup. Not even close!!

Jun, sweet! I guess we’re pretty lucky then, as we share the same thoughts on relationships. I’m not sure if my relationship is effortless, but it’s certainly easier than trying to build a business!

However, comparatively speaking, my relationship is effortless compared to trying to build a fortune.

How’s your businesses doing btw? Would love to hear more insight as being an entrepreneur is fascinating!

Best,

Sam
