Short YouTube conversation (short-form) where John Jonas explains his approach to avoiding burnout: he limits his work to ~17 hours per week despite being able to work more, prioritizes time with family, wants his business to last, and warns that overworking (60+ hours) often leads entrepreneurs to resent their businesses and burn out. The clip emphasizes longevity and sticking with a business rather than short-term overwork.

I really like working.
I like my business. It's fulfilling, it's helpful, it's creative. And that's why, even though I can afford to work.
Less, I still work. But there are also reasons why I.
Don'T work more than 17 hours a week, even though I can.
That number one reason is I want.
To spend the time with my wife and my kids. Number two, I.
Want my business to last. And number three, I don't want.
To burn out.
So most entrepreneurs.
I know, they work themselves to death. They work 60 hours a week. They resent their business. They feel like they're overworked and underpaid because they're building this thing that's going to pay off in the long run.
But for now, they're killing themselves and they get burnt out and they get.
Sick of the business and they want to move on.
And it's when you stick with a.
Business for a long time, typically, that the business really starts to succeed. The longer you stick in one industry, the more it'll.
Succeed because you get really, really good at it. But if you burn yourself out, your.
Business can't last.
