Title: We are in month 20 of our busines and I’d like to think we have achieved positive things both with technology and commercially (£1m+ ARR and profitable).<p>I’m a software engineer and also the CEO, we have a great team (mainly all tech) and our product is great to work on and use, customers really like it.<p>I get home and feel like this is really difficult to keep up.<p>We have lots of things to do and it feels like we don’t have time to do it all which leads me to being sat here at home on the sofa in a state of questioning whether I’m over reacting at the subtle elements of start up life. I feel like “gah, what am I doing here?”. People need things from me constantly and I try get through as much as possible, delegating where I can.<p>I have co-founders who are amazing at their technical job but don’t seem to have that same feeling as me. They are driven but I feel like maybe they don’t drive forward or worry “in a good way” about the next thing that needs to be done to continue to grow.<p>I guess as I’m writing this it feels as though I’m saying: “I feel it’s all on my shoulders and it’s heavy, getting heavier by the day”.<p>Is this a normal occurrence in these situations? How do I relieve the pressure?
