Exactly right.

I am a creative person, so I always am thinking and working up new ideas on my white board. I am not a 'maintanence' type of guy. I like building something new, and seeing it take off, and once the money starts rolling in I tend to lose interest and want to do something else.

A lot ideas are abandoned. Not because they are not good, but because they are not cost effective. There are only so many hours in a day. In the Michigan winter, I do not mind working more. But in the warmer months... I would rather be out on the SeaDoo or playing basketball, golfing, whatever.

The point being, I like working 8 hour day max. in warmer months.

If I was never working on new projects, or ideas. I would be very very bored, and would not enjoy my work so much. So I can see where you are coming from.
