Here in the USA we are debating the efficiency and implementation of a 4-day work week. converted.

Entrepreneurs: does this apply to us too? Might we get that break?

Or not?

I anticipate “not.”

There is little room for any time off for entrepreneurs. That means no revenue, or it’s delayed.

In corporate America. I had to take vacation time. As a banker, I had to take 2 consecutive weeks. Even if that meant rearranging my time off to accommodate an acquisition or divestiture.

Or as a corporate finance officer, come into the office to review and move the cash positions if the banks were open but the company was closed. I accepted that as my responsibility. I was in the office to speak to Europe early. It was my responsibility. The internet was just starting to facilitate 24×7 communication.

I wonder if this is still the situation, but now you can do this from home instead of driving through snow and wee hours’ light to go to the office. You tell me…

Just like I am in my global home office early. Just like I write blog posts on Saturday morning. Just like I stay until the day’s work is done. Oh I get work-life balance. I just choose to carefully orchestrate work-client balance too. Like the time I had to leave a Broadway show for a client’s needs. Who else was going to do the solopreneur’s job but me?

As an observation, LinkedIn also operates 24x7x366 and I believe you need to be in the moment no matter what you seek to accomplish with it. So start your day with LinkedIn, check in frequently, and end your day there too.

Back to the 4-day work week, bah, ain’t gonna happen, for us entrepreneurs. You will have to convince me otherwise.
