I've heard from some rich/successful people that they only work 4-11 hours per week. If that's the case and if anyone has time to chat, I would love to converse! I am trying to find a potential mentor :)

I work about 10… but i had to work 80-100 for about 5 years… 65-80 for 4 years and 45-60 for a year to get there. You are not going to start at 4-11 hours a week.

Great response. I’m currently at the 20-25 stage👌

Yeah, there is a strange culture popping up where people think they can be top 1% or top .5% of income earners and have everyone else work for them from the start. They miss out on a lot of details… like working an amount very few are willing to work to get there. There are 168 hours in a week and in my first two years i have had weeks where i worked 130 of them. I am mainly writing this for anyone reading lol. I would guess at 20ish hours a week you can relate to the above.

Also when duty calls no one works 4-11 hours a week. You will always have an obligation to your business… it can claim weddings… nights out with your family…. Friendships…. Vacations… It doesn’t care about your life lol.

I don’t understand the meaning behind 80-100 hrs.

Like, would you count preparing dinner and doing groceries ir getting ready in the mornings as work?

It seems so u realistic to me in a way

No you would go a day without eating and get takeout the next day because you put your business before your personal well being. Working 100 hours a week is not pretty. If you treated a child the way you treat yourself on 100+ hour work weeks you would be put in prison.
