How Building a Cyber Security Startup Ruined My Life (why I’d do it again!)

Ever thought of building a cyber security startup? I did. And it almost ruined my life (in a good way). Here’s some of my lessons learned along the way:

Life becomes much more stressful. This is because you go from wearing one hat to wearing a dozen hats. Except you can actually only work on one thing at a time.
You need to prioritize tasks based on the amount of time it will take to finish and the overall impact it will have on your startup. Saying “no” to busywork becomes
Another useful skill is developing the ability to “zoom’ in and out. This is the ability to pivot from detailed, tactical-level work to big-picture, strategic thinking.

There’s 3 business personalities in all of us. Striking the balance between your inner Tech, Manager, and Entrepreneur can help you deliver clear productivity in a world of chaos.

Building a business can be long and painful. It adds many projects to your life timeline, compressed in a short period.

But in the end, it’s going to be a much richer and colorful experience than just coasting and taking it easy. Which is why I’m going to be working on Teleseer, our network mapping software AND pushing YouTube content out.

This is the happiest day in this year. Cyberspatial finally back with a new video 😭♥️

I’m a visual and physical learner by nature. It’s EXTREMELY difficult for me to understand basic Cybersecurity or Networking concepts since I can’t see or touch electrical signals lol. Your channel and enthusiasm has made learning so great and efficient. I’m excited for your vision and wish the best. I’ll be tuning in for the next video. 🤟

the last bit about life being like a collection of projects actually made me cry. it is true. and it is so inspiring to see what you have sacrificed and how you have solved problems along the way.

Talking from personal experience, taking the choice to not to follow the standard bussiness mindset and start a community base service where the work is shared with others in a horizontal manner is a game changer. If you get people to align to a higher purpose the way the works is done change significantly, it could be the case that you gain less but your quality life is so much higher and the product is also better.

Had me worried for a minute bro, happy we got you back. I love Cyber security, you made me love it more...love you man, stay awesome 🤜🏾🤛🏼 and stay passionate

Hey, this may have been stressful… but your tool is so good and will relieve stress on employees submitting audit documents, incident responders, network teams, and anyone needing a network diagram! It’s amazing!!! Way to take one for team cybersecurity!

[shincheem]

So much perfection in your videos, please be updated

[alexkram]

Your videos are incredibly well done and polished. I'm glad you are continuing Youtube though because you are great at this! I had burnout issues at work also and some health issues because of that. My solution was to pursue financial independence so I could do what I want without having to worry about paying the bills. I still need to stay busy though because a life of leisure isn't very satisfying. But being able to take a nap when I'm tired no matter what the clock says is priceless.
