When an entrepreneur is excited about a thing she's building, the truthful answer to "how many hours per day do you work" is typically "zero or twenty-four, depending on what you consider work."
I agree entrepreneurs can get burnt out, but at that point it's become a "job" and is probably time to move on.
- saiya-jin 10y agoyou are incorrect in assumption that burnout can happen only once you lose passion for your work. one of endless examples in history - look up medical volunteers during WWI - passionate for saving lives all the time, yet burnout happened to many of those. there are limits to stress your body can sustain, and your mind can be totally disconnected with it, pushing and pushing.
- vog 10y ago> you are incorrect in assumption that burnout can happen only once you lose passion for your work The assumption is not only incorrect, but I believe it is exactly reverse: Losing passing is one of the consequences of a burn-out. It is not a cause, but instead one of the (most visible) symptoms.
- vog 10y agoTo those who downvoted this: Do you care to explain why you don't think that burn-out leads to losing passion?
- Scarblac 10y agoOne can be passionate about multiple things at the same time.
