I work hard, and managing an inventory-based business can be extremely stressful. The upside is that, as long as I get my job done, I can take time off pretty much any time I want.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I look back over my career, there was so much stress. And it was because of the business. It was always because of the business.
I think when I was on the corporate ladder, it was very difficult to maintain the hours. It's a little easier when you have you're an entrepreneur.
I think a certain amount of stress in life is good. The stress of just working, which takes effort - I think it keeps you going.
If your business keeps you so busy that you have no time for anything else, there must be something wrong, either with you or with your business.
I have realized sometimes I do better working under a crazy schedule. It gives me less time to overthink things and forces me to be present.
Working a job I love is mentally less stressful than punching in a clock everyday, but it's a lot busier.
I mean, I can get things done if I need to, but I can really be completely irresponsible and procrastinate until the very, very, very bitter end. In fact, sometimes I work better under pressure.
I have such a stressful job that the only way I can get it out of my mind is by running hard.
I once started a small business when I got out of college and enjoyed the stress of making it work. High-stress situations clear my head, and I love the challenge of getting along with many different kinds of people. I'm scared of routine.
I don't have a great deal of stress job-wise in my life, and that feels good.
