I got a chuckle out of that too, but then I thought: Wait--why do we simply accept that starting a business should mean sacrificing one's family or freedom? I mean, if it's an actual, viable business, shouldn't one be able to just do it from 9 to 5 like it's a normal job? Why does every startup have to be this heroic herculean effort against all odds that requires 140 hour work weeks and employees with no lives? Maybe a startup that requires that much effort is really not a viable business and requires that much just to prop it up and keep it going? But, then I can't find any examples of startups that just operated as normal, chill businesses from day one. So, maybe it just does have to be that way.
