Professional manager working on project planning in a modern office

Ali Aydan: The lights are on here at 19 Berkeley Street

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.
