Working for yourself doesn't mean you'll work 70+ hours a week.
I own my business and work 40 hours per week. Most entrepreneurs I know keep a similar schedule. It's entirely dependent on your workload, your industry, your staff, your efficiency, and a bunch of other stuff.
I know I worked way more hours when I worked in Marketing for a publicly traded company. Suppers at the office. Weekend requirements. 24/7 on call. Certain seasons where I'd by at the office 14 hours per day. Half the reason I went out on my own was to get away from the hours.
