That would be a regular business. A lifestyle business the goal is to give the owner a job they like without the distractions a larger company would have because the owner/founder likes doing the work. It is possible to start lifestyle then transition to regular or be a blend (eg: currently lifestyle, but keeping a eye out to grow). Sparkfun is a example of this where the founder hired someone to be CEO so they can actually have time to do the stuff they love.
