New research suggests a large number of small business owners are happy to work long hours to escape the prospect of being an employee, news.com.au reports.
This year's Business Owner/RACV Business Insurance survey indicates nearly a third of Australia's small business owners work in excess of 50 hours a week.
Yet despite the long hours nearly 75 per cent of small business people said they enjoy a better work/life balance as a result of being their own boss.
The survey claims 25 per cent of people decide to start their own business for one of two reasons: a lack of appreciation from management or a passion for their SME product or service.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

I have many years of experience in the insurance industry and i can tell you that You i' will be a major player in years to come and no they don't target younger drivers, they are low to medium risk and they ask the right questions to get the best price. You i wants people who look after their vehicles, don't drive much and are loyal, they really are a brand that if you fit their target audience you will be very well served with this company
