Title: We raised a few hundred thousand seed sort of round sometime back. Have been working on product for more than a year now, recently launched about a month ago. Response has been sort of nice. Have a few thousand users doing transactions.<p>But I still feel lost and burned out. I built out the product from scratch, later we hired a few guys who are okay in terms of skills. Now I spend a lot of time guiding them to deal with the issues that keep cropping up every now and then. Trying to move away from being a single point of failure in the startup. Finally booked a vacation, but feeling quite guilty about it. I know I need some rest time, energy levels aren&#x27;t what they used to be. But still feel guilty and will probably end up working 4-5 days as week on vacation as well...<p>What do you guys do to recover from such situations?<p>Motivation levels are getting very variable everyday. Had quit job 2+ years ago, started withdrawing a small salary about a year ago so personal liquidity situation isn&#x27;t that great either. But now need to start to raise more money soon for company... Is it normal to feel quite screwed while running a company most of the time?
