LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman: Founders have no work-life balance Starting a startup means giving everything you’ve got. Reid Hoffman says, “Founders have no balance,” and Elon Musk believes, “If others work 40 hours, work 80.” Success often demands intense focus and sacrifices, like long hours and less personal time. Why do it? As Paul Graham explains, startups let you compress decades of work into a few intense years. Instead of working at a steady pace for 40 years, you push yourself for a short, life-changing period. Yes, it’s hard, but when you’re passionate about your idea and work with a great team, those long hours feel meaningful. The excitement of building something new and the potential rewards make it worth it. This unbalanced phase won’t last forever, but it can transform your life. If you’re ready to give it your all, the journey can be incredible.
