Hi guys would really appreciate some advice on what to do(copied from my original post): I’m 18 and I’ve been super stressed out with college, part-time job, and with my startup business. I’m trying to run (pre revenue). I have class every day of the week (except for the weekends) and typically work 15-17hrs give or take usually evenings. The problem is I just can’t handle all 3, I am physically too tired to study or do any work for my business after my part time shift (it’s retail) and I have to go straight from college to my part time job. So that day is a total no for my business. Days I do just have college and get free time I spend almost the entirety of my time on business and to be honest I just don’t get some of my schoolwork done because I find it uninteresting and doesn’t help me with my startup at all. I (purposely) spend no time for leisure or go out. This isn’t a rant or me just complaining but the bottom line is I know I need to get my schoolwork done even if I don’t want to do it or I WILL fail the semester. I am studying engineering and the professor says we shouldn’t spend 10-15 hrs or more working or it will be difficult and we shouldn’t expect a’s and b’s. Maybe this would be doable if I had a full time job and just did college, but I’m trying to pour as much time as I get possible into my startup and I stress out when I go days without working on anything. I’ve already had to remodel my business plan once due to just a general shift of the market, and I’ve designed some products, but am hesitant to release anything that is not to my satisfaction. If I’m not fast enough in developing my products I will have to start over like I did before (it’s tech software so very volatile). And I feel absolutely horrible that my parents are paying for college and expect me to get good grades but I haven’t been able to when I have so much on my plate. I’ve been told by my professor that we don’t just need to pass, but actually get good grades in order for us to transfer. And at the same time I feel horrible with myself that I’ve invested over a few thousand into my startup, and it will fail if I don’t put the work in and invest the time in it. The only thing I can think of that will help is quitting my part-time job and focusing on school and my business. My parents, however, do not want me to do that and think that it will be best for me to handle all 3 and to be honest I think they expect me to spend some days not working on my part-time business and see it as a hobby. But in reality, I don’t see it as a hobby but a real business venture. I plan on actually promoting a product soon as in within the next few weeks, but still I need more time to develop. My parents want me to work and I think they may see me as lazy for not wanting to (they repeatedly call me lazy) but my idea is why should I work a minimum wage job unless absolutely need to? My startup is typically draining ~ $150 per month and I spend no more than $300 a month (that’s including my monthly car insurance) I live with my parents, no rent, and they pay for my health insurance and food, so I don’t have many expenses at all. And I have about $2,500 in the bank. So why not just quit my part-time job? And live off of those expenses until I inevitably make revenue to focus on college and my business. Worst case scenario I have to get a part time job again. My parents are not supporting of this as they think it’s a bad idea and I need money, but in reality I feel I don’t NEED to work unless I NEED money (which I don’t). However I believe this is a good idea and have faith in my business. Anyways, I don’t wanna ramble, but I’m asking for your best advice guys. I really would like to know what would be best to do or if I’m overreacting and should just push through it I’m open to hearing anything and will answer any questions that need clarification, thanks guys.
