We all know that if you love something you are going to want to spend time on it and watch it grow.

This dude sells vitamins. No wonder he wants to spend as little time operating the business as possible.

Starting any company takes time and effort.

Gladwell's new book Outliers debunks this myth that you become successful inherently based on how smart you are – he says it takes 10,000 hours or so to become an expert on something like that.

Every entrepreneur I know from the most successful to the struggling young guy (me) has to put in the hours.

If anything can be learned these hours should be placed onto something you care about and desire to succeed.
