I’ve heard from some rich/successful people that they only work 4-11 hours per week. If that’s the case and if anyone has time to chat, I would love to converse! I am trying to find a potential mentor :)

    I work about 10… but i had to work 80-100 for about 5 years… 65-80 for 4 years and 45-60 for a year to get there. You are not going to start at 4-11 hours a week.

        Yeah, there is a strange culture popping up where people think they can be top 1% or top .5% of income earners and have everyone else work for them from the start. They miss out on a lot of details… like working an amount very few are willing to work to get there. There are 168 hours in a week and in my first two years i have had weeks where i worked 130 of them. I am mainly writing this for anyone reading lol. I would guess at 20ish hours a week you can relate to the above.

        Also when duty calls no one works 4-11 hours a week. You will always have an obligation to your business… it can claim weddings… nights out with your family…. Friendships…. Vacations… It doesn’t care about your life lol.

      I don’t understand the meaning behind 80-100 hrs.

      Like, would you count preparing dinner and doing groceries ir getting ready in the mornings as work?

      It seems so u realistic to me in a way

        No you would go a day without eating and get takeout the next day because you put your business before your personal well being. Working 100 hours a week is not pretty. If you treated a child the way you treat yourself on 100+ hour work weeks you would be put in prison.

    If your drive as an entrepreneur is to be rich, successful, and work 4-11 hours per week you probably don’t have the right motivations and will burn out quick.

    Is it just me or does OP’s post read differently when you really look at the title and the post together.

    It looked to me like OP was asking for advice from entrepreneurs who are already successful, worked less and therefore had more time on their hands to even be available for a chat or give some advice. Did I read wrong?
