My goal is to create a startup so I understand what it feels like to work on an idea or cause. According to me to be a successful in your self-employment path you have to understand how the industry works. That's the reason why I am currently working as an employee to gather experience on tackling issues understanding nuances of the industry. This helps me not only to improve myself but also learn how to behave as a leader. If you reach a leader position after working as an employee you can set your guidelines on being a leader and you will understand how to and not to utilise your team.
Coming back to your point that separation between work and life. I believe you can have that regardless of whether you are an employee or self-employed. One benefit of being self-employed is that you can pick what interests you and do it thus increasing your passion as well as motivation.
And being a leader means you are your own employee you must treat yourself the way you treat other employees in your team. This gains not only respect from your employees but also breaks the barrier for employees to talk to you. Because many times I have seen employees afraid to talk to their bosses or leads as they haven't a clue on how they would react.
I believe in working on idea with people who share similar passion and motivation to make things better for other people. A thought that initiated the fire in me to create a company is "Create products not for money but for people. Think how this product no matter how small improves people's lives".
Well written my friend!
Seems like you are very focused on your goals, keep it up and you will be there for sure.
Regarding the work life balance it is easier say than done. Your mind whether you like or not is always working, thinking about what's next, worrying, etc. Your team needs you and it might happen at time when you least expect.

Thanks Ido. I didn't think about work life balance from that perspective. Hoping to connect with you later if I need guidance.
