Hey! Thanks for the feedback.

My level of happiness went up WAY before the funding event happened and is much more a result of my lifestyle changes and improvements in balance, clarity & focus then the other way around :)

The examples I gave at the end of "success" included working with amazing people, getting married and having a little baby boy.

Getting funding for my startup is at the bottom of my personal list and is in no way an indication of my personal financial situation (still having debt & working on a very low salary to be able to invest everything in my company and team). Not to mention anything about a "relaxing" new lifestyle :)

Being an entrepreneur will always be a stressful gig. I've just chosen to maintain a balance so I can do this for a very long time without killing myself and making everyone around me miserable :)
