Well, what's up my friends? This is the Jason Stapleton program, the entrepreneurial podcast that breaks down the skills you need to start and grow a business that creates more wealth and freedom for you.

That sounds like your jam. Let's get started.

Yeah, you know, we'll get an economic episode today.

And I've been playing around with what I wanted to talk about, and I got it so I was telling Dan what we started the show today.

I have had one I'm realizing I'm looking at the week ahead actually the next two or three weeks and everything that has to be done.

And I'm getting I'm a little overwhelmed with it all and frustrated with how much and I'm going to it's basically going to be 18 hour days for a couple of weeks.

And this is this is that dark side of entrepreneurship that nobody wants to actually talk about, especially if you run kind of a solo business is that there are times sometimes extended periods of time where you're working a lot.

And you know you have to have that's why I say that it's it's really tough to create you know work life balance is it is a difficult thing in in any situation.

But especially in entrepreneurship in order to have that freedom and flexibility.

There are times when you just say no, no, no, I just have to focus on this right now because this is what's going to feed me and give me the time to do later what I want to do.

So I'll give you an example. Well, first of all, you said you've been running like that for months, yeah.

Yeah, it's been it's been just a grind since you know August kind of turned and I don't see an end in sight, but I'm hopeful that there is one.

Yeah. Well, the good news is is that when at least in my business and I think it's the same for you when that happens to me, I know money's coming in.

Like I things are like I'm I'm filling up the bank accounts and things feel good. And yeah, at least that pressure is gone, even though you have these you know these different pressures.

Yeah, trade offs all around man, right?

Life's all about trade offs, dude. It really is.

But no, so I was all of that got me in kind of a sour mood. I don't know why so I kind of got I kind of got so boxy and I started reading a little bit of the news.

I just follow a lot of news. We don't talk much about it on the show anymore because I just think that there are better things for us to spend our time doing than talking about the latest political election or or what's going on with.

Yeah, what's the name Russell brand? Did you see that this morning?

Russell brands been accused of multiple accounts of rape and assault from years ago.

And which hurts my heart a little bit if it's true and I don't know whether it's true or not, it could be all false allegations.

But when you get I don't when you get four or five or six of them together and they're all saying the same thing and they're all talking about the same way.
