I currently own one established company which is on the decline after 14 years in business, so I’m experimenting with two other ideas to keep the train going: one betting company and one competitive analysis SaaS. The betting company looks like it’ll be a smash hit. To give you an idea, my friend at the biggest ad agency in my country said that the betting company’s metrics were the best he’s ever seen. Meanwhile the SaaS looks like it could be one of those reliable lifestyle businesses in a small corner of the internet. For now I’ve put the SaaS on ice to prioritize the betting company, but I haven’t completely given up on it. At the same time I’ve just started a new family with one kid who is now one year old. My efficiency has evidently gone down as I try to be a present father in the kid’s life. The stress of managing this whole balancing act has me wondering whether I can really manage multiple kids and multiple businesses, or whether one will have to suffer in the long run due to priorities or maybe I should just stick to the one child to manage everything (which would be contrary to the two children we agreed on with the mother). What do you guys think?

    Fix your established company and be a present father. You don’t need 2 other businesses. Fix your shit and love your kid.

      The established company is in a dying industry (blogging). There are forces beyond my control that are squeezing us out
