It's too bad they perceive long hours at their job as a chore -- and they must since they are prescribing both short hours and four-day work weeks. When I'm in the groove doing something I truly love to do, then 16 hour workdays fly by as if they're perhaps three or four hours in duration and in those moments, there's nothing I'd rather be doing more -- including sleeping. I've been in that grove at my own startups and working for a big company where there's no chance that my efforts will translate into a pot of gold. And I love it.
Funny thing is, you seldom hear people give that advice to obsessed painters, sculptors, musicians, etc. Why? Because artistic passions are viewed differently than "jobs." But, what if your job IS your artistic passion? Why shouldn't entrepreneurs be viewed as "artists" instead of "workers?"
