Coping with the emotional rollercoaster ride as an entrepreneur

Being an entrepreneur means you are riding a rollercoaster. It’s a constant up and down of different emotions. It’s easy to be on cloud nine one day and land on the hard floor the other day. There are so many things going on and I was only living for the moment.

When having a bad day I started questioning things and forgot about the good times. When were they actually I asked myself? I couldn’t find the answer as I forgot about them. Although there were just a couple of days ago. So I started journaling in a Google Sheet by putting one-sentence a day into it. Later on I added how I felt this day and what was the driving factor for it. By the end of this year I had quite a nice collection of different one-sentence stories.

I created different filter views to only see happy moments when I was feeling a little bit down or read through my rougher times when I was on cloud nine again. As this really helped me to appreciate the current situation much more I’m now thinking to bring this method to an app to help other people (or entrepreneurs).

I’ve put up a landing page to see if there is enough interest from other people. So feel free to check it out here: https://punktapp.me

I’m calling it “Punkt” as it’s the German/Austrian word for punctuation mark. The last thing when finishing a sentence. Punkt.
