Man I have been going a 100 mile per hour these past few weeks, business is picking up and I'm feeling the pains of lack of sleep from putting in late work hours. I think 9 to 5 people don't know how much work goes into being your own boss. Take my mother for instance she insists daily that I'm living the life of Riley (this was a sitcom from back in the day about a man who didn't have a job, stayed home everyday and lived a life of leisure). While I will admit that I have the perks of waking up when I want to, if I decide not to work on a particular day I can do that too. But what she and other 9 to 5'ers forgets and many is that as a business owner if you don't work you don't eat, and the stress of finding and maintaining customers, keeps me working from sun up to sun down. To be honest it's easier to go work a regular job then it is to run your own business, you're not responsible for finding new customers, making sure there's enough money to pay employees and suppliers, managing and nurturing the company so that it grows. Nah being a employee is easier, but I'm a risk taker, a thrill seeker, a creator I'm a business owner. I like to work hard and yea sometimes too much, but who cares I'll sleep when I'm dead.So to all my entrepreneurs out their keeping working, creating and stay away from the nay sayers!
