Probably the most difficult position in which you could be is that of a small business owner guided into entrepreneurship by his profession, not just the drive to make a profit, especially if you did so after years and years of chasing perfection.
The issue here is that you can’t be both the owner and manager of your business and your most dedicated employee.
When you’re someone else’s employee, you can focus on your tasks, when you’re the boss, there are a lot more things that you need to take care of and every single of those tiny tasks are chipping away at your productivity.
When you are under so much stress, your understanding of time transforms.
Suddenly, wasting 30 minutes on something that doesn’t advance the business or doesn’t help you get earlier back home to your family isn’t something you can take lightly.
That means you’d only have 2-4 hours/day to make the money your business depends on.
