David Packard, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, said, “You are likely to die not of starvation for opportunities, but of indigestion of opportunities.” Most small businesses succeed in keeping their owners more than busy — in some cases, too busy. If you provide needed products or services at a fair price, customers will beat a path to your door. Your business will grow and be busier than you can personally handle. You may need to start hiring people. I know small-business owners who work themselves into a frenzy by putting in 70 or more hours a week.
If you enjoy your work so much that it’s not really work and you end up putting in long hours because you enjoy it, terrific! But success in your company can cause you to put less energy into other important aspects of your life that perhaps don’t come as easily.
