Very true.   And this is why I no longer have a small business and am back at Corporate America.
My grandfather during his life owned 2 gas stations, a trucking company, and a chain of dry cleaners. All separately, mind you. He was first to tell me "do it" when I wanted to leave the big company and go out on my own....he was also the first to tell me I'd have no vacation, no weekends, etc. He was right.
Thing is for me, I did try....and am so glad i did. I sold our TT, two classic muscle cars all to fund the business...and received in return a business loss but VALUABLE experience. By the way, I am now paid "more" for that expierence in corporate america....and have time for a new TT and camping once again!
