Hard one, Michael! I'd say its confidence - nobody is telling me what to do. I only have very few people that I can bounce off ideas with. I like it when people challenge me and question my next moves. People have high expectations but i also have a day job and can't do everything at the same time.

I'm (very) late to this discussion, but I'd love it if you could dig deeper into how you're succeeding with your Substack publication while you also work a day job. (I'm doing that too, and the juggle is a little crazy sometimes!)
It’s indeed not easy and crazy. I mainly work on it on Thursday, Friday night or Saturdays but then have to reply to a lot of emails on Sundays following the newsletter. I also travel a lot for work during the week. I am sure you know that it requires a lot of discipline and focus. While your friends might be out on a Friday night or watching Netflix at home, you have to work but that’s just how entrepreneurship works :)
Keep focussed on your main goals and really try to build something for your best users/readers, not everyone. This helps me to cut the noise and stay motivated.
