If you have work 100 hours a week to barely survive, then you are doing something wrong. Building a business is very much a roller coaster ride. You work hard to land a couple of deals. Then you work harder to make sure those deals stick. Then you figure out a way to hire or contract out the rest of the work. Then you try to land more deals and so on. Hopefully, one day as a founder you are able to work as much or as little as you want and the business will still thrive. Then, of course, you look to sell. I don't the idea of extremes: "It's easy to build a business, I can do it on 15 hours a week." or "I have to work 100 hours just to break even and make payroll." If you are doing either one of those, you have a problem, in my opinion.
