Depends on your role in the company and the type of company you are creating...
@john_carmichael That is true. What would your answer be to this question?

@kaustumbh7 It is impossible to answer without knowing the parameters... the founder could be the tech lead, the sales lead, the inventor, or the CEO... the startup could be well funded or bootstrapped on the side while the founders work their full-time jobs.

To remind oneself that the lows can get deeper and the highs can get shallower.

For me, it is various psychological aspects behind dealing with the constant flow of unknowns.
@dimao That is true. Entrepreneurship journey is full of uncertainty.

Being unsure about every decision at first.

As a founder, the most challenging aspect is navigating the constant uncertainty and ambiguity that comes with building something from scratch. It requires wearing multiple hats, making tough decisions, and persevering through setbacks. However, the opportunity to create and make a positive impact makes it all worthwhile.
@kunal_mehta_94 That is so true.

Reading all the comments and I think willing your startup to success captures the challenges everyone has mentioned below. It's hard and tiring, but it should be. Creating something great requires strain and difficulty. In many regards, every day you have to create the success you want your startup to achieve Embrace the challenge and get comfortable with the hard and uncomfortable! My advice to get through this is to reflect on how much you have achieved to this point to drive your entry into a new phase, task, or responsibility! As a first-time founder launching the first half of our marketplace come July 17th, everything is new and uncomfortable in some respects but I'm excited about what we've accomplished and even more so about what we can achieve.
That is very insightful @divine_rivers1 Looking how far one has come since the start, does help on the bad days.
