Workaholism is a trap. Working a lot because you love to work, or once in a while you have to get a lot done in a short period of time is one thing. But repeatedly putting in tons of hours because you fear things would fall apart without you doing that is a disease.
Even if it were true, it means you are not running the business right. You haven’t learned how to be a leader. You own a job instead of a business.
But workaholism is a respectable addiction, so few people call you on your sickness, seeing you as hard-working and diligent instead.
Are you an unhealthy workaholic?
I was a workaholic. It’s really about layers, as your business grows you should have managers that act as layers between you and the day to day business. Layers change the game!
