Ali Aydan says; Conventional advice says a CEO should ‘unplug’ today. We are told to seek balance.
I respectfully disagree.
If you are building a legacy, you do not punch a clock. You cannot unplug from a mission you believe in.
But you can shift gears.
The danger for a Founder is not working too much. The danger is getting stuck in the noise.
For 300 days a year, I am fighting fires. I am looking at supply chain spreadsheets, HR protocols, and cash flow forecasts. I am reacting.
Today, the emails have stopped. The phone is not ringing.
I am not using this silence to relax. I am using it to attack the horizon.
I am not answering questions today. I am asking them.
➡️ Are we moving fast enough?
➡️ Is ‘The Windsor’ truly the best smart lock in the UK?
➡️ What is the one risk that could kill us in 2026?
Work-life balance is a myth for builders. We do not want balance. We want momentum.
While the market sleeps, we sharpen the blade.
