If it's an startup, AKA a business built to grow at a huge rate and become a giant from nothing, then it's necessarily risky and anything you do in it has a larger than linear impact. So the one startup where the owners put an extra hour/day will probably win the market and the others will fail.
If it's a business built to be sustainable, sure, you should be able to run it 9 to 5.
I can't actually see what the article is claiming, due to the paywall.
- ajmurmann 3y agoDoes it need to become a giant though? If I don't sell large portions to investors, I'd be thrilled with something that makes in profit roughly what a good tech salary pays.
- nprateem 3y agoIt's probably the fear that your steady business would be eaten by the workaholics.
- ajmurmann 3y agoTrue, also might depend on the size of your niche. Something like the famous on here bingo card creator probably was pretty safe from this
- meiraleal 3y agoThat's fine. It's not a start-up tho
- ajmurmann 3y agoWhat is it? Some call something like this a muse business, but I'm not sure these two are mutually exclusive
- marcosdumay 3y agoIt's a business. If you need to qualify it, I'd go with sustainable, like I used up there. Startups are something you want to transform, not sustain.
- meiraleal 3y agoI call it a lifestyle business, have seen this term being used a few times. Which I like and suits me well too
