I run a small business, and the one thing I was not prepared for, vs being an individual contributor - there is SO much random stuff that pops up. Paperwork, compliance stuff, HR stuff, planning stuff, finance stuff, making sure that you've been doing enough sales. Oh and it's all urgent. And almost all of it is menial. But needs to be done in the next few days.
There's a world of difference in being an IC and running a shop. Reminds me a comment I saw on HN a while ago - "Oh you like writing software and want to start a SaaS business? Great, now writing software is 10% of what you do"
