Being self-employed is the purest form of capitalism and the
best way I know of getting paid what you are truly worth.  It
also demands a different mind-set, including an awareness
that the number of hours you put in is only meaningful in
terms of what you do with them.
     Most successful entrepreneurs spend twenty-four hours a
day either working or thinking about their business.  But it is
how they fill those hours that makes the difference between
success and failure.  The cliche is, "Don't work hard, work
smart."  The truth is, "Work hard, work long, and work
smart."
     On the positive side, in the beginning, when you are not
having to deal with meetings and memos and all the other
internal corporate time-takers, you can add, literally, four or
five hours to every day.  But if you don't spend them pro-
ductively, not only will the difference be "deducted from
your pay"; you might as well spend them writing memos
to yourself.
