Not saying its tough for you as a small business owner, but the comparison is apples to oranges.

Agree 100% not apples to apples. I just got a kick out of of long hard hours. Those are not long hard hours in my book..
I also do not get he month of August off. I do not get every Monday through Wednesday off and I do not get every winter off.
Yes, I am not traveling. If you think I saw my family from M-F you would be mistaken. If they did see me it was when I scarfed down dinner and then retrated back to my home office to work.
Yes, my choice.
Except, a 12 hour day is not a long day. Getting 2-3 days a week off at home does not sound that horrible to me.
When I went to the 2011 Montreal F1 race I happened to be in the same hotel as the Ferrari mechanics. I saw them in the morning in the lobby at 0800 heading to the track which surprised me, and again in the lobby at 1800. I did not see them gone for 12 hours when I saw them. I met with Will Buxton at a bar Thursday (might have been Friday) evening where a Red Bull and Force India mechanic came to say some words with us, along with a reserve driver for FI.
It seemed back then to be a cool gig. Especially if you are younger.
Maybe it has changed a lot, I still think it is a cool gig I would have loved to had when I was in my twenties.
Conclusion - 48 hour work week + travel does not sound horrible to me.
