Success isn't static, 'indicator' doesn't mean 'definition', and correlation is not causation. In other words, success for one startup doesn't mean success for another (let alone personal success). Working weekends doesn't mean you'll succeed, and vice versa. And working crazy hours doesn't mean that's why you succeeded. > Do people still think you can get away with 40-50 hours when the next guy is just as good as you and putting in 80? The 80-hour guy's personal ROI is half that of the 40-hour guy. Meaning the return has to be twice as good to justify his additional time investment. This is great for the company, but terrible for the individual.
