Question

Sam closed the doors to her home-based consulting company only two years after opening because she was tired of working 80-hour weeks. This is an example of which mistake leading to business failure?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is sacrifice to having your own business. Sam wasn't ready to invest the hours needed to make it on his own.

Explanation:

There are many advantages to opening a new business. When you are an entrepreneur it is easy to get lost in all the benefits and don't pay attention to many os its disadvantages.

A big disadvantage is that you are always at work, you are working everywhere at all times. There are no off days, if you’re not working, then you’re not earning. You don’t need to be engaged 24/7 to have a chance at success in the world of entrepreneurship, but you will be working a lot more often.

Most people who find success in the world of entrepreneurship are working longer, harder days than the average “traditional” employee. You do have some flexibility when putting in those hours, so you can structure medical appointments, school visits, and other family needs within your day. You do not have the luxury of cutting back on your hours most days.
