How much do you work on your business?

[cooliojones]

I work on mine probably like 7-8 hours a day. And it hasn't even started yet, I'm just laying the foundation for it. But it got me to thinking... is this what it takes? Is this what Steve Jobs and gate and Beyonce and Jay-Z do? Is it really an all day, everyday, seeking perfection thing?

Its basically all the time I am awake as its not just making the very labour intensive art but photographing it, branding and marketing, networking etc and it never ends.

I work on mine at 2 to 3 hours after I'm done with my day job that I hate.

after work, sometimes during work...I visualize the end result all day long

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and yes, even Columbus Day.

If you want your business to be successful you are going to work on it while you are awake, dream about it while you are sleep, can't wait to stop eating/drinking, because my business IS me!

Rare is the moment that I'm not working on my business.

A wise man once told me that if you're working 'in' your business and not 'on' your business then you're doing it wrong.

This. Your business is your life. I'll repeat that again your business is your life. I spend so much time working on my business that I hardly come here anymore. I see why Mr. Jody doesn't post much, cause he's out there growing his business.

I'm a graphic designer and illustrator. I do freelance graphic design for clients small business to large business and create artwork. During my graphic design off times I work on multiple streams of income, which is very important for me. I use my illustrator skills to design framed artwork, posters, t-shirts etc. And I use the knowledge that I gained from learning Photoshop and illustrator to write tutorials and eBooks. Then networking which is the most important one, and the one I really need to work on the most. So I'm basically working 24/7 with my business.

Also if anyone needs assistance with there business graphics(Logos, brochures, posters, business cards etc) just pm me and I'll link you my website and give you my hourly rate.
