If you ever feel like there isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done, you’re not alone.
According to a Gallup poll, about six in 10 working Americans (61%) say they don’t have enough time to do what they want, compared with 32% of those who are not working.
If you’re an entrepreneur, time availability is even more sparse. The average entrepreneur spends 68.1% of the time working “in” their business—doing day-to-day tasks and problem-solving—and only about 32% of the time working “on” their business—setting long-term goals and strategically planning. Additionally, according to a Harvard Business Review, it was discovered that the average business leader works a 72-hour week and other data revealed that 57% of small business owners work six days a week. And more than 20% of them work seven days a week.
