I just wasted a ton of time I could have been using to push my business forward, by voyeuristically reading all these first world problems. Not including the rape post– that one seems serious and I hope it’s not real

Welcome to the club. I'm often aghast how much time I waste reading crap online when I should be working on my business. Strangely when I had a full time job I never procrastinated like this. Sometimes I wonder if I'm cut out for this endeavor.

sharing your first world problems is great therapy

I have a full-time job, but spend nearly 100% of company-time working on my startup. My startup was covered by Ad Age, which my boss receives. He was in a meeting when the article hit, so I went into his email and deleted it.

I am a sole non-technical female founder. I could be shitting rainbows and unicorns out my ass (which I do, daily) and investors still won’t touch me with a stick. I know for a fact if I were two dudes I’d be fully funded by now.

I am a woman CEO and hooked up with a guy the first night we met- he wants to join my company but I just can’t get over the way we met.

Have worked for 4 startups that all crashed and burned for unrelated reasons not having to do with me. I now consult for cash only, and I can’t imagine working as an employee again. I’m happier and richer. Am I alone?
