People love the idea of being a CEO — until it means working weekends, losing sleep, and being your own safety net.

Entrepreneurship isn’t freedom at first. It’s survival.

But once you break through — it’s the most rewarding thing you’ll ever do.

OP's argument that the higher-ups' work is high risk 24/7 and that's why they make the big bucks disregards the experience of people for whom that's already the case.

I work weekends and late hours because I didn't set boundaries early on with a medium-large organization.

My contributions to day-to-day ops means I'm stuck working at the capacity I used to output after life and family changes made that impossible.

I'll make it to Sr. M here after years more nose to the grindstone, and I've watched other people comfortably slide into higher positions in less time. Don't make yourself so valuable to the company for which you work that they need you and expect you at 100% to sell work.

Its also very hard to find a ceo that actually knows what their doing a had a post on LinkedIn for one for my "Nanotech that makes machines smarter.” devices for automotive engines even hybrid, id love to try it on an all electric and other things but focused on that. But, I try them they do nothing or are only worried about getting 10% or more but cant produce anything. I have 375 hits in 2 days. I have to tell them what I need and they dont tell me anything I can do for them. And im not growing g at all.

From reading a number of books and listening to a number of podcasts about starting a business, one underlying factor they all share is to have deep passion for what you do. How do you know what your passion is? I mean I think a lot about golf but i don’t think that’s a passion. It’s my hobby. I think most people just know.
