ya i was ripping my hair out last year trying to find buyers and upgrade my software. i worked 80-120 hours a week, usually with unimpressive results. then i realized i was working way more hours in this down economy then i ever did in the boom years.
i was working more an more hours trying to attract buyers, but they just weren't out there. all the future porn entrepreneurs were home (or homeless) worrying about their own asses.
this year i decided to step back a bit and use this time to get healthy and play with my family. i swim every morning and spend at least a few hours a day with my wife and baby. as a result, i feel healthier, happier, and i'm selling a lot more software this year than i did last year.
the moral of the story is - when its slow, take time for yourself. it will always get busy again. the economy can't be in recession forever
