You are not at a place where you want a job, much less a career. You want a paycheck. Small businesses are a real team approach. There is no margin for error. If you told me during the interview process that you were an 8-5 guy, I wouldn’t hire you. If you elected not to tell me that but then started acting that way, within 3 months I would fire you.
You better be able and willing to put in whatever it takes to make your business and yourself successful.

And thats the biggest issue with working at a small business, the expectation from some business owners is that because they are putting in 70 hours per week so should everyone else.
