I think this is happening to my co-founder (though I don't think he's the OP). We've been working on our SaaS company for several years, have a good number of paying customers, have hired half a dozen employees from revenue (never took funding), and are building a great company with a product our customers love. But it's still a struggle every day, and there are always more things to do than we have time for.
I can tell he's tired - he comes in to the office later and later, seems more easily irritated, has worked crazy long hours for years with hardly any days or weekends off. I think the daily stresses are just starting to wear on him. (Me too, of course, but that's a subject for a different post!) If I recognize what the OP is going through in my own co-founder, how should I bring it up?
For those of you who have or are going through this kind of thing, any thoughts on the best way to talk to someone who is struggling with this? I really want to help.
