Is anybody here a business owner or self made project innovator? How does your daily work load change each year?

I feel that starting a business is like giving birth and then hiring nannies to care for your child one year later - the first 5 years are five times harder than the second 5 years.

I've reduced my work hours by over 75% since I first began this process 7 years ago.

And yes I started my job role before the pandemic started, and then stopped to began a normal job, and then during the pandemic I departed from my normal job and began working on my own self determined job role again.

And there have been economic changes since then that would have weeded me out if I did not build the foundation before these job changes began to near its head in the world.

I think the odds of success according to data is 1 in 5,000 or more. With new economic changes, that might change to 1 in 30,000.

No, I had my business long time ago, but not any more, although, if I had enough money, I would probably start some new business.

Yes, no change the same old 70 hours but the cash pile is growing with gold's recent highs

Building a business is indeed challenging, with varying workloads over time. In my experience, the initial years are about profound dedication, while the following years can bring more strategic focus and delegation. Each year, adapt to economic and industry shifts, which affects workload and strategies. It’s true that external factors, such as economic changes, can increase the challenge. However, resilience, adaptability, and the foundation you build can enhance long-term success. Despite odds, a strong vision and continuous learning can lead to fulfilling outcomes.
