When Should Start Up Hours End?

Every entrepreneur knows
she’ll be working crazy long days
when she starts her business.

But how long can we expect
to work these endless hours?

Phaedra Hise
advises

“If you’re still working
a 16-hour day
five years
after starting your business,
then you’re either
a control freak
or you haven’t hired the right staff.”

I would also add
“or you don’t have a viable business”
and I would amend this to
“If you still HAVE to work”.
I love writing.
I doubt I’ll ever treat this business
as a 9 to 5 job.
I’d happily spend
every moment I can
writing.

Have you been working too hard
for too long
on your business?
Then it is time to reevaluate
your situation.
