Are you on someone else's schedule?
"A job is working on someone else’s schedule. I was expected to be productive for eight hours in the middle of the day, five out of seven days a week. This doesn’t match my natural rhythm. Some days I can work for fourteen hours, others I just need a day off. If I work in the mornings only, I don’t need a weekend. I’m really keen to explore different modes of working to find what is most productive for me."
I just came across this post thanks to Ashley Tower's recent Posterous post.
This hits the nail on the head for me in terms of why I am passionate about working for my self and building up a scalable business. I love to experiment with how I work well and trying out different schedules. I know for a fact that the normal 9-5 is not my optimal schedule.

Ok so when you're building up the business on your own that's fine, but sooner or later if you're going to run a successful business you'll be expected to work 9-5 by the other businesses you're interacting with and you'll have to adapt. :-)
