When it comes to taking investment to expand Peony Lane, I'm torn.

Financially, the upside is clear and the downside is pretty low.

The sacrifice is life.

Do I want to go hard for the next 10-20 years and come out very wealthy or do I want to make a decent living, have more time with my future family and come out as wealthy as Bitcoin determines.

I'm torn between what I want out of life and both would be pathways of growth.

Anyone have experience with this choice?

What would you do with the wealth after going hard for 10-20 years?

It's tough, but I think it's a question of how much is "enough"

Go as hard as you can while you’re young. Kids, business, all of it. Front-load the pain. By age 50, the die is cast and all you do is think about when you can take your foot off the gas. Try to be secure before that.

Go hard until you have kids. Until then you can be compounding harder for their future without missing out on any time with them because they don’t exist yet.

For me personally…. I defined my lifestyle goals: the sort of car I wanted, the sort of girlfriend and friends I wished to have, the type of home and neighborhood I desired, the variety of hobbies and activities I wished to engage in, etc. I told myself that when I reached a net worth that would...

Go hard until kids, then scale back. Maybe eventually sell, unless ths scaling back is working and then keep on keeping on. Time is how you'll measure success soon. Sounds like a bunch of fortune cookie messages.

When your head is down, making your millions, the fresh pow fields with your name on them will haunt you.

Very few people speak for the trees but the trees always speak to us. You know what’s right.

How close are kids? We built a business while ea. working 40hr/ week jobs before kids. Now on the way to walking away from 9-5s and can run our business in 10 hrs a week on avg. and show the kids entrepreneurship. We’ll have 3 under 5 by late October. You can always scale later.

Have you read the 4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris?

Knowing you for a few years now, even if just through the web, my sense is one of these paths will be fulfilling to you, and the other won’t. If the second choice is, keep making great wine, grow your business organically (no pun intended), and save what’s left in Bitcoin, you’re going to be a...

It’s a tough decision. Go through the same thought processes with my business. My scale has been bootstrapped so far, we stack bitcoin, and run a lean operation. I’ve continued to choose the path of bootstrapping and keeping my peace and time. I think each choice can work. Best of luck navi...

As a lifelong small business owner I’ve had the opportunity to work in many different business structures, but the one I’m most impressed with, that I never considered is the family farm. It solves all the problems you are struggling with and gives you the ability to leverage time without sacrif...

This is a common issue. Your scenario lays out the question to be answered. Chase more or move closer? I’ve seen a lot of business owners come to me thinking they want one thing but after a short bit together it’s clear that was just the only option they saw. I’d recommend getting ultra cl...

I was grinding. Then read a chapter in a finance book called "When is enough, enough" Half way through that chapter i decided to quit my job. Fix up the rest of my house and move on. That was a year ago. Today i am painting trim and have a realtor coming on Monday. Im moving on. Listen to you...

Invest in hard bitcoin for 10 years. It is the asset that will perform best in the next 10 years. And in the meantime you also earn ₿ from your work. Don't take time to start a family (if that's what you want) the years go by quickly.
