It’s exciting to break out on your own and launch a business. It’s also scary, stressful and exhausting. The majority of small business owners work more than 40 hours per week, according to a survey by The Alternative Board, which found that 33% of business owners work 40 to 49 hours per week, 30% work 50 to 59 hours per week and 19% work more than 60 hours per week. One of the reasons entrepreneurs are working long hours is because most aren’t just running the business and focusing on strategic planning, they are also working in the business by answering emails, phone calls and performing administrative tasks.
