As I’ve become encumbered by life’s responsibilities, the main pivot I’ve made is to outsource a bunch of it. I spend money on this so may not be feasible for everyone but, I can project manage a small async remote team on top of everything else. Finding the team is a challenge but pulling back from the hands on technical stuff helps 1) minimize time away from home 2) I don’t end up with a hobby instead of a business and 3) I am forced to spend most of my time selling, which had always been my weakness (I’d build for the fun of it then have no plan for what to do to grow it).

I’m a night owl so I usually spend time after kids are in bed working on it. A lot of people say they find success waking earlier and getting in a couple hours before their job/family routine takes over. I think the main thing is to make a plan and talk to your spouse and ensure you’re aligned.
