403: Success Is Not About How Many Hours You Work Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Freelancer, Accountant, Bookkeeper, VA, Owner, Or Self-Employed

When you have your own business, it can be hard to create the work life balance many people only dream of creating. Although having your own business sounds like you are in control of how much and how often you work, you may hear otherwise from many small business owners. Are they working long hours, and do you need to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to be successful? If not, how many hours do you need to put in as a small business owner to achieve success in your small business? Believe it or not, the most important part of this question is really how you define success in your small business. Every business owner has their own opinion about what success means in their small business, but once you have that definition and you know what your successful business looks like, you will be able to create your work schedule around it. You will also notice a big difference in the number of hours a startup business owner works in contrast to a more seasoned business owner. Today I am covering many aspects of work life balance and how many hours you should be working to reach the success you are looking for in your small business. I am talking about the many differences there can be to each individual business and how your family life will have an impact as well.
