Weekends are for Wimps

Written on February 11, 2011 by George Krueger & Mary-Lynn Foster in Work

In Wall Street (the original one), Gordon Gekko (played by Michael Douglas) said, “Lunch is for wimps.”

So are weekends.

Many people think being your own boss means setting your own schedule. It’s a myth that ignores the realities of entrepreneuring:

Work gets in the way.
Milestones need to be reached.
Deadlines don’t always accommodate weekends.
Customers need to be cared for.
And there’s the ongoing drive for cash flow.
You have to lead by example.
The buck stops with you.

So, we’ll be working this weekend. Because we’re not wimps.

How about you?
