So I realize that I don't work "normal" hours. I get to work at 6:00 and leave at 3:30. I am here for a good part of what would be considered "regular" hours, but I just shift it forward by a couple of hours. I like having my afternoons free and getting ahead of the traffic.
And I am consistent. I am here between 6:00 - 3:30 every day that I am supposed to. I get here on time, I work, then I go home and forget about ICON for the day.
I've never owned my own business, but I'm sure it's not easy. One thing I don't understand, though, is owning a business and managing people who work for you while you're at home in the wee hours of the night. Really, why bother showing up at 11:30 and closing yourself in your office until your employees leave, doing who-knows-what, until 10:00 p.m. when you finally decide to respond to the email questions that you received throughout the day. What good does that do me, or our clients? All these requests that came in yesterday will now have to wait.
You wouldn't think it would be that hard to work (at least) most of the same hours as your employees. That just makes good business sense, doesn't it?

PS Based on your liking of "How About Orange," I suggest you try notmartha.org. She frequently references the former, but she has a lot more categories and lots of cool stuff! Enjoy!
