Are Entrepreneurs workaholics?I see most of them are.Most likely because they enjoy what they are doing and they dont get tired easily.But again,dont you think a break here and there from work will help in the long run.

I think the answer would be yes that most people work alot harder when starting out for themselves but after the business has been established in my case i have tended to back off to less hours than when i worked for someone else.I cannot see the fun or enjoyment of working long hours after the compamy is up and running.But of course this is only my take on it,i only tend to work 3-4 hours a day and that is all i need to keep everything thing running like clockwork.

I think entrepreneurs are workaholics, without a doubt! Everyone in my family is into business and they would work 30 hours a day if it was available. I am self-employed as a consultant, but I do not believe in this "all work and no play" philosophy. I think work is part of life, and life is not just work. There must be time to live, enjoy and do all the things that one wants to do. If life is all work, then even work loses its charm and becomes drudgery. Of course, a start-up needs a lot of time and attention, but once things are established the entrepreneur should make time for other pleasures as well.

Yes. I often notice that entrepreneurs are really into success, so even a single break is hard for them to have. But after a while, when they get tired, surely a vacation for them will do. I admire these entrepreneur for the perseverance they show us.
