@chiassonsmoke: What is your why? In the beginning, a business usually demands more hours, more mental load, and more responsibility than a job. You’re not just doing the work you’re building the systems, fixing the mistakes, carrying the risk, and making decisions no one else can make. If the goal is fewer hours immediately, a business is usually the wrong move. The lie is: “I’ll start a business so I can work less.” The truth is: “I’ll start a business so I can eventually control how my time is used.” Those are not the same thing.#chiassonsmoke #SmallBusiness #fabricationshop #smallbusinessowner

The best part of owning your own business is you get to choose which 80 hours a week you work

Yep. I no longer have my own business. I took a job because I want to work 8 hours, not 14 or more and be essentially on call

As a once self employed machinist. I used to tell people, I ran my machines from 9-5 but I ran my business from 5-9. Because I was just as busy with invoicing, preparing payroll and taxes, prepping parts for shipping. Making online tooling and material orders.. oh the list goes on.. yeah. Find the WHY. But in metal fabrication and manufacturing. Making your own hours is a punishment not a lifestyle. At least in startup.

That’s true. I work my own hours being a rancher, it’s easier on days I have to go to town, no clocking in or out, but that being said if it’s not done today it’ll be waiting for you tomorrow no matter what day of the week is because I work 7 days a week most of the time. A day behind means double time the next day
