"I ran a small company", what happened? Why did you stop or did it get stopped? What was the reason?

One man show / sole proprietorship is great, but its bad for family life. It's 24x7. Atleast thats how I saw my dad, dining room was the company meeting room and we all are unpaid company "helps",assisting our Dad support the family. This is the main thing that holds me back from being an entrepreneur (sole proprietorship 2.0).



you don't have to do it that way. i run a company, and i don't get my family to help me. as long as i earn enough money to cover the family expenses, i don't need to work crazy hours. i get to take time off whenever i want, or whenever the family needs it, and not when my boss allows it.
