You know, this is something that I can’t stress enough to any Internet entreprener that I meet in passing or at a conference. Really, there are many things you can do for your business to make it grow, and make it more successful - the thing is, many of us forget about the things we need to do for ourselves that will make us grow and become more successful. Work-Life balance is really important. Case in point, this great post from Brad Feld:

However, until about five years ago, I had absolutely no balance in my life.  I was on the road from Monday to Friday, arriving home exhausted at the end of the day Friday.  Amy got “the dregs” over the weekend – I’d sleep a lot, spend time in front of my computer getting caught up on all the crap I didn’t get to during the week, and when we went out, I’d always be tired and withdrawn.  The burnout cycle continued; every six months I’d completely crash from the effort (I graphically remember a vacation to Hawaii with friends where I slept 20 hours a day for the first four days – so much that Amy thought something was physically wrong with me.)  I drank too much, I struggled with my weight, and I felt physically crappy.  I loved my work, but I couldn’t see past it.
