As we get older, we have to step back, think and slow things down in order to get good results.

You can go back and look at any book, of what anybody who's ever been successful, it takes hard work." - Christopher Lochhead Finding the Right Pace Most people don't know how to value time and being in balanced is something that is hard to do especially working in entrepreneurial businesses. In reality, what we shared with younger entrepreneurs is that there will be plenty of time and they will be less effective, if they burn themselves out. Remember the point of all of this work is to deign a legendary life, not kill yourself “hustling” According to Ever, he had seen the ups and downs, but it's the mental health that scares him.
