To work effectively requires that you work smart. There are but 24 hours in a day; on the way to becoming an entrepreneur, you'll also need to sleep, eat and attend to responsibilities other than spreadsheets and pitch contests. Not everything can be outsourced. But know that the discipline you summon each day to roll out of bed at 5:00 AM, to work hard and smart until 10:00 PM or even later, is the sweat equity investment that could make your entrepreneurial concept viable and sustainable.
