hi colin - read your blog... very interesting, very honest, but i agree with master curmudgeon... some things just don`t work and some things are just obstacles, but its up to you to decipher what you can live with and what you need.  being a start-up is a BIG learning curve, and you should factor in a few days where you are just "brain dead." just write it off.  good friends stick around and a simple apology will go far. 

 

charge your batteries and maybe just scale things down a bit.  for instance, there are five pretty important issues i need to deal with and have been putting them off - my product also is about to launch, but there are ducks i still need to get in line before my site launches (http://roadragejewelry.com) (sorry-i can`t help myself :) so i wrote them down and prioritized them (x5); i have to look at them every day... i work at a law firm during the week, and there are many days where my brain is fried, but i try and budget at least two hours a night working on my company and that "damn" list...two of the five i have now taken care of; the third one i am taking care of next week; and the remaining two i have rationalized, cannot/should not be taken care of until the site is actually up.  do i expect a barrage of new issues after i launch? you betcha, but the weight of the launch  will be off me - and i will deal with whatever comes at me when it comes... the lift-off is the heaviest...

 

be well... legx3

let go then be awesome at customer response, they will take you where you need to go, and forgive yourself all that other stuff, friends understand if they are friends, if not oh well.

carry on and great success to you!
