> I was reacting to the definition of "lifestyle business" not the label. I don't know about you, but personally I get annoyed when people create a false dichotomy between a startup and a "lifestyle business". Not everyone who declines to play the VC game is a "lifestyle business". It should also not be a dirty word, which is the way it comes across to me sometimes.

Lifestyle business is a dirty word somewhere? "Lifestyle" business is a significantly more rational choice in comparison with VC backed startup if one considers their personal happiness and psychological wellbeing as an important metric.

  Can't speak for poster but I suspect this is being used pejoratively in the context of "lifestyle business" == "living off passive income".

    That's just sad and I mean it in a non-sarcastic way.

I understood the difference to be a startup implies 60 hour weeks, a lifestyle business implies 40 or less.
