Owning a business has its benefits, including a huge financial upside, but at least in my case, it's a job where you're never assured a break. Sometimes I yearn to go back to my old 9-5 where I left my work at home the moment I walked out of the office.



Ok so you traded good work life balance for financial gain. Got it. Why should we feel bad for you? This is why I don’t want that type of job. Enjoy I guess

The CEO of my previous company never has a real vacation. He can never not be available for his clients. He certainly works all holidays as needed and would not call us in.

It’s part of owning your own business. Pros and cons.

OTH- he’s fat rich.
