Yes to aging parents who need care but also- are you planning to be a solo founder or co-founder? If co-founder then apply the partnership question to this person. Having a business partner who can flex workload when needed, challenge you positively and give grace when needed is paramount.
I don't think I've even touched on the business side of things at all — that would be another 10-point checklist, for sure! I should re-frame this one to be just about the PARENTING side of things as a start!
Only got 3 to 4 yeses but addd on supporting elderly unwell parents physically and financially while living on an oily rag bootstrapping your own business with part time child care and no village lol were playing at difficulty level 10 😆
You’re speaking my language, Sarah! So often we compare ourselves to other success stories & think, “I could do that too.” Of course, we totally could, but it’s hard to win a game when you’re starting with a different set of rules. Being honest about our reality up front makes it easier to achieve results on the back end.

I could say yes to almost all of the above and I still could not do what I do without my amazing co-founder.
