Joe Polish explores why self-employed people work longer hours than employees and end up burned out. The freedom of being your own boss comes with a hidden cost: you're never really off, and the pressure you put on yourself can be harder than any boss.

Is your business, your boss. I know you're all entrepreneurs and you don't have bosses, right? Joe says the best thing about being your own boss is being your own boss. And the worst thing about being your own boss is being your own boss. Right? Don't we joke as entrepreneurs that we'd rather work 16 hours a day for ourselves than 8 hours a day for someone else? Right? Until it's all funny. Until it's not. Until it becomes burnout and breakdown.
