Business outlook
Pros
As a business owner, you have ultimate control over success or failure. If you work harder, keep pushing and figure it out, you have the potential to have incredible success and feel on top of the world. There is nobody stopping you except yourself. This can be an incredibly liberating feeling. I think about it frequently as I’m building Weekly Update.
Cons
Don’t do your own business to work less. You’ll work far more than any 9–5 job. There is a constant feeling of guilt when you are not working. The business is always on your mind, and there is always something you can do to make it better. This can be emotionally and physically tiring. Many of the best entrepreneurs are awake at 4:30am!
