I’m at the very beginning of building my first fastlane pursuit.

Made a written agreement (with accountability partner) to completely cut out girls, alcohol, and my social life for at least 2-3 years while I get the foundation laid. I’m not scared to go extreme for a while, but the cost of a damaging effect to my family is the only thing that concerns me. (I’m 23)

Our relationship has been pretty much ice cold and negative for years due to my dad leaving over a decade ago. I have a younger brother that I never had a bond with either because it was just constant fighting in the house.

Now I have an opportunity to build a relationship with both my bro and mom.

I know if I don’t build the relationship now, I’ll probably regret it forever. I don’t think any amount of future success would be worth that.

I keep running into this idea of “no balance” when starting a company, and I’m cool with that but I just want to have this one exception.

Is it possible to build a startup and still AT LEAST maintain/grow the bond with close family?

What exceptions have you made to this "rule" of going all-in on your business that were successful long term?

Thanks
