For a lot of people the working week is a strictly defined period of time. It starts on a Monday and ends on a Friday. The working day is usually over by 6pm.
Not so for the entrepeneur.
If you deal with entrepeneurs on a regular basis you can throw all those ideas of work schedules out the window.
It doesn’t really matter how big or small their organisations are as it’s more a state of mind than anything else. You could call it dedication or you could call it obsession. However it’s a characteristic of most entrepeneurs that I have come across.
If you look at the activity on mailing lists, fora and blogs outside office hours it can give you some indication of the level of work that goes on outside office hours.
Of course those are only the public facets of their activity, but I know from the emails and IM conversations I have with people that there is probably as much work done outside office hours as there is during them.
I can empathise with that.
So, maybe it’s time to found a new organisation for workaholics. Let’s call it Workaholics Anonymous!
