If I need to get something done, I'm more likely to work through lunch to make sure I'm out on time. However, once I get home I keep "working" on my own projects like my blog until late at night!

" Hahaha FS I should almost let you proxy comment for me on a lot of posts lately because a lot of the time you seem to say exactly what I am thinking. I strongly agree that putting in the long hard hours upfront is very much worth it whether it is a job or a new business or even when someone is young and just starting their career. It will all pay off and then when it does there should be time set aside as priority time for the important things like family. “Working long hours for at least the first two years of your job is SO WORTH IT! ”

People's fires at work only last so long, so it's a good reminder for veterans to get back into gear, produce good results, and also show a little face time. But, like I said, there's always so much to do and learn, it's not really face time if you don't want it to be.

I'd hate to think that my initial reputation and success was just due to "working a lot of hours" but there are intangible benefits that go beyond pay. Early on - definitely. For a full career, I'm happier working a medium number of hours and following other pursuits and seeing my family more. I can’t disagree.

I tell the younger employees all the time, you can't control your luck, but what you can control is your work ethic. To get in first, and leave last is a must in my opinion. It shows initiative, and a hunger to learn. Unless you know everything, there's always something new to grasp. After you've established yourself, or are old enough to gain the respect of others, then you can be more leisurely with your schedule. But, I would say at least your 20's, it is the crucial crucial period to build your reputation and foundation for bigger money in your 30's and 40's.

After you’ve established yourself, or are old enough to gain the respect of others, then you can be more leisurely with your schedule. But, I would say at least your 20′s, it is the crucial crucial period to build your reputation and foundation for bigger money in your 30′s and 40′s.
