I had to laugh at the setting your own schedule one. Almost daily I will see one little thing to “tweak” and end up an hour later still messing with it. I’ve always been a huge list maker. I actually have lists of lists. I remember when I had my daughter and was on maternity leave from my then full time job, I couldn’t believe how the day escaped me! And I felt like I was getting so little done that I had planned! My mom said, “Just list one thing, then list “baby”, then list another thing, then “baby” etc. etc.”

That’s the way it is with a small business. It needs lots of your time. Anything else you get done is bonus!
