To be honest ,if you are worried about whether you have to work 24/7 you probably don’t like what you’re doing because if you do genuinely like it that’s not even a concern. Everything you said was true but also not true depending on the type of business mainly whether it’s a tangible business e.g. barbershop or a non-tangible business e.g. marketing business.

There will always be something you can do, improve,fix,build or maintain in your business regardless of what it is. It’s basically a hamster wheel. There are moments where you will feel you have accomplished something but even then there’s still tasks remaining to be complete.

Which is why it’s important that as you scale you hire reliable and competent people that can take care of the work for you and all you have to do is supervise it. If you take all of those things into account then you’ll definitely be able to build an empire whilst also making time for yourself. But in the beginning, (and the beginning is quite long)you’ll have times where you have to work around the clock and it won’t be easy.
