Phrases like “Follow your passion and go all-in,” or ” “Just follow your passion,” or “believe in yourself, let your passions guide you” dominate social feeds daily.

We can blame age, stress, too much work, too little sleep for constantly being tired. But that may not necessarily be true. To the entrepreneurs, hustlers who grind, a busy lifestyle is par for the course. Bad habits like sleeping less start to develop. I usually go to bed by 1 a.m. or 2 a.m., […]
