One major problem every business owner faces is fatigue, when it comes to small business owners, it might seem worse. At the early stage, small business owners tends to do most of the work. Due to this they usually have little sleep, since they have to do almost everything. It is usually very hard for the business to survive in their absence. One way to reduce fatigue is to ensure the business grows to the point where it can actually survive in your absence.

I understand what you are trying to to say here and it's the truth but at the same time our health also matters. Though like I said the point is growing the business to a level where it can function in your absence, and to reach this level it takes hard work. Anyone that needs to survive in their business needs to make a lot of sacrifices and another point I was also trying to make. Like myself I have an offline business and I also do various things online. I am currently out of town now for another side job which is affecting my own small business because am not there it cannot function fully. So I need to grow it to a stage where I can hire more hands so even when am absent due to one other engagement, the business would still function and at the same time reduce the level of stress on me.
That's a better option to have assistance to avoid over fatigue. In my case I don't feel stressed. I'm taking Energy vitamins daily so if you're a workaholic take energy vitamin like Enervon C.
I can totally relate to that. I have not started a business as such. But since last June I am working on my dream project of making special needs employable through handwork and other crafts. It's more of a business model.This project of mine took a real toll on my health for a while in the beginning with the work load and so much to be done to kickstart. I had helping hands and well wishers. Moreover, we are a core team if three. But despite all this, we suffered a fatigue after continuous work for almost 12 weeks in the beginning. But then slowly things streamlined and we had less workload..But still it's an ongoing process and there are days when we feel overwhelmed. But then taking a break to rejuvenate helps.
It is normal for business owners to experience fatigue due to hard work running the business. The owner should try his/her best to have a well-balanced life. Take a break if necessary. Otherwise, your productivity will be affected. Hire assistants to help out when the workload increases to the extent you cannot manage.
