Frustrations

I got back to Asia after a few weeks in Europe raring to go. I'm working on a new startup, have been for a couple of months and the intention was to get back to this warm wet land and kick off. Things didn't quite work out that way - another example of of life grit. So what went wrong and why can't I as a super duper entrepreneur fix it in a flash?

• Lots of accounting issues at another firm that I own have sucked up time
• Getting my head screwed back on and tying up all the loose ends of three weeks on the road
• No afternoon childcare and as the non-income earner my time is more disposable
• Nightmare toddler who goes to sleep at 2000 and wakes up at 2130. Then has hysterics constantly, for ever, and ever. [I really do love her, but at the moment I am a little negative about aspects of her behaviour]
• getting a management teams isn't quite as easy as I'd hoped.
• MBA exams around the corner and the pressure of writing assignments, revising and doing exams for those.
• Feuding with my parents - most recently I'm slightly stunned at the lack of response when I told them that we were going to adopt a second child, compared too my wife's news of pregnancy with out first.
• Worries about the business idea - am I good enough, will it work etc
• Frustrations about not being able to find the time to start getting it together.

Put like this in a list the issues don't seem huge. In reality they are all manageable. The hardest is the sleep deprivation on top of the jet lag, and I'm probably about 15 hours in deficit over the week so far :( Fix that and everything starts to come together. Especially when I haven't really had that much time to myself over the last few days.
