Hannah Hammond argues that successful entrepreneurs don't clock out at 5. Building a business means working nights, weekends, and Sundays, constantly strategizing and learning while most people won't sustain that grind.

I've never really met an entrepreneur that works 8 hours a day Monday through Friday. That's just not the way it works. If you want to be successful, if you want to create an empire, if you want to build something that nobody else can, you have to be willing to do what nobody else does. You are working when everybody else is out at the bar on Friday and Saturday night, when people are taking their Sundays off to go do Sunday fun day or whatever. You're strategizing on your business, you're listening to podcasts, you're reading books, you're going through your financials. Like, people don't understand the amount of pain, the amount of work, the amount of commitment, the amount of hours, the amount of blood, sweat, and tears that you have to put in to be successful. And oftentimes for nothing, for periods of time where you're just pouring pouring all of you into your business, every minute of your time, every ounce of your energy, every dollar to your name, you pour into your business and you have nothing in return and you just have to keep going and keep grinding and keep waking up every single day, keep doing the things that you know you have to do to be successful. Most people can't do that. Most people won't do it. In fact, normal people, It doesn't make sense to do it. You have to be a little bit, a little bit crazy to wanna be a real entrepreneur, to build something great, to make an impact in the world and on other people's lives, to have the responsibility of taking care of people, of feeding families, of changing lives. It doesn't come easy. I know it looks easy sometimes on social media, on stage, through, you know, having nice things. It ain't easy. Sacrifice a lot, but it's worth it. I promise it's worth it.
