First view is: That hard work alone will ensure a successful profitable business. According to a survey, as reported by All Business, conducted by The New York Enterprise Report, a regional small business magazine, small business owners said they work at least 50 hours a week.
Of those polled, 33 percent reported working more than 50 hours per week, while 25 percent said they work more than 60 hours a week. 70 percent said they work at least one weekend a month.
Second view: Which is on the left field side is if a person can be a success and manage their time will enough to spend weekends with their family or is able to manage their time to enable them to pick up their kids from school is leading a more balanced personal and business life. Seeing this more relaxed life, they themselves and others may perceive that they aren’t working hard enough and they become suspect in theirs and others eyes.
To say arriving at work early and staying until late will ensure success, is like saying that every postman can be a Howard Hughes. There is a prevailing thought that sweat is obligatory for success and with each drop an executive moves a little closer to financial heaven.
It is your choice. This mindset is what will give the successful business owner or executive the flexibility to move. Let’s not hear any more whinging business owners saying it takes hard work. That will only show others that they haven’t mastered the art of building their business with balance.
