The Entrepreneur and the Family

Steve Blank, Stanford University

Female Stanford students of entrepreneurship ask serial entrepreneur Steve Blank: “How can one balance family life with the demands of the start-up?” Blank advises single people to stay single, and suggests that those with family ties set strict schedules to insure time together. Start-ups can easily take over one’s life, he says, and one must be equally diligent in taking time off as working.
