I have never liked being asked to predict things. I try not to prognosticate, especially around things I’m not deeply involved in.

You cannot move your business forward by worrying. You cannot grow if you are burnt out. At this point, I doubt you’re firing on all cylinders. It’s time to recharge. The last few months have been one tumultuous roller coaster – and even though I enjoy a good challenge, I know well enough that there’s only so much we can take.
