Day 899 - Father's Day - https://golifelog.com/posts/fathers-day-1687059100029

A few thoughts on being an indie dad for three years now:

- Mums have it harder, but it sure ain't easy being a dad too. Both struggle in their own ways. Just want to acknowledge the work that dads do too.
- To provide and protect, yet to also be present. That's a tough juggle only dads will know. It's harder when being an entrepreneur means you're thinking about the business all the time. Learning to switch back to the little human before you is a skill that has to be learned and nurtured.
- It's funny how life goals change as an indie dad. Indie single: $1M ARR! Be the best! Indie dad: Time freedom to play with my kid! Give the best to family. Success in life becomes a different animal. Not to say one is better than the other. There's pros and cons, but there's something natural about bringing up a child that aligns to how the seasons unfold through the year.
- There's a lot less support and resources for dads in general. Many dads might not want to even talk about the challenges they face. Many are silently struggling. Hearts out to those dads.

Happy Father's Day, indie dads!

Yeah I could never have guessed how things can change either, till I became a dad. All the best for your goals, klint!

Happy father's day! I've been wondering how being a father, a full-time employee and a small business owner works out, but I guess you never know until you try it. I've always been a provider but due to my upbringing I've had issues with being present. I know it'll be a struggle, but I'm willing to give it my best, that's why I decided to go all in on my goals this year.
