Yeah, you gotta work like that, if you’re the one starting the business. Talking to a client who owned several businesses one night over drinks. He said you have to work your ass off for a year and-a-half to two years, then it pretty much runs itself.
One might note that he wasn’t talking about his employees working like that.

Yeah, like, I would be willing to work those hours if I had a significant stake in the company and I had a voice in how the company was run.
As a salaried employee, I’m not doing that.
