In my previous post, I talked about my time commitment as an entrepreneur and I mentioned that I dedicate my time on evenings and weekends to my entrepreneurial ventures… that’s not because I like to sleep all day… I wish. It is because I have a full-time commitment as a graduate student. In addition, I am the boyfriend of a lovely and understanding woman.
It is important for me to succeed as a graduate student. While in lab, I work hard on my dissertation research. I read papers, I study, I prepare presentations, I do experiments, etc. I do not allow my entrepreneurial spirit to get in the way of my graduate work.
After I get done with my lab work, which is usually between 6 pm and 8 pm, and after I spend some time with my girlfriend, I go home and work on my ventures. Most nights, I start around 9 or 10 pm and I usually stay up till 2 am. I never mind staying up late even if I am tired a little in the morning, and I certainly never complain about that… I happily and willingly pay the price today to become successful in the future.
