I completely feel the same way, if you love what you do, then why wouldn’t you want to do it 24/7? it’s the same concept of loving your wife, if you love her, there is no reason why you wouldn’t want to spend the rest of your life with her.

I’m only 22, but I am in love with the startup life. It’s 2 PM right now and there are 4 people at my school’s computer lab. Everyone else looks miserable, I am loving the fact that I’m awake and working for myself and something I can be proud of.

[...] 3) Recessions lead to committed startup teams. A common perception about recessions is that jobs are put in jeopardy. This may not be true, but if people feel nervous about their job security, they probably will not want to leave a comfortable situation — especially for a start-up. But the flip side of this is that anyone who does come to work for a startup will be incredibly committed. A founder will have employees who really believe in his or her vision and products, and/or who love the start-up environment so much that they’re willing to live with the added risk and Spartan conditions. Those are the types of people entrepreneurs need for their teams. [...]

Jason.. I do suggest that you conduct an anonymous survey/feedback withing
your organization and see what your employees think of your environment
and you. I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but I have worked with people
that have your personality. They are kind of blind to the outside world
and think they are always right. Obviously they become rich, because
their ego pushes them through. I do think you are a great guy, but
in all honesty, you couldn’t pay me a million dollars to work with you.
I mean, the notion that you love your job and that everyone else
should love their job as well is not correct imho.. you are already a rich man
and probably own the majority of shares at Mahalo, obviously you
should always be happy and pumped. btw, your commenting system
is broken. The right border is missing.
