My business partner and I built our company on being transparent with clients about our capabilities, but we've started overpromising to win deals and now we're both working 70-hour weeks trying to deliver things we knew we couldn't do well. We haven't talked about how this happened or what we're becoming, and I can see us both getting cynical about the work that used to energize us.
More people experience this than they realize.
You and your partner keep overpromising clients and are becoming people you don't like.
