In this brief exchange, a speaker shares the common expectation that entrepreneurship will lead to fewer work hours, only to discover they are actually working more. However, the nature of the work feels different—less like traditional employment—and the primary benefit highlighted is the extreme flexibility to structure one’s days as desired, rather than a guaranteed reduction in workload.

When I decided to pivot and kind of pursue this path, my goal at the time was to work less. The reality is I'm not working less. I'm, I'm actually working way more hours.
Yeah.
But it doesn't feel like work in the sense that work used to feel like. Um, so what I've learned, right, is that owning your own business While it may afford you a 4-day workweek, doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to have all this flexibility to work less. What it may mean though is that you have extreme flexibility to live your days in life how you want.
