A clientk reader emailed me
and took me to task
for advising entrepreneurs
to work, work, work
all of the time.
My response is
1) I don’t know a successful entrepreneur
who doesn’t work harder
than the average corporate employee.
We’re passionate about our businesses.
If someone is looking for reduced hours,
I don’t recommend starting a company.
and
2) I’m not saying work all the time
BUT I also don’t think
we have to stick to a corporate schedule.
(I’m referring to fellow entrepreneurs,
not our employees)
We don’t have to work 9am to 5pm.
We can work 9pm to 5am
if that is our preference.
We don’t have to take July 4th off.
We can take July 11th off.
We can do whatever works for us.
If our competition is sleeping this week,
it might make sense to be awake.
We should take into account customer demands
but we truly ARE our own bosses.
WE set our schedules.
Run your business your way.
