However, I don’t view a workaholic as someone who exceeds the standard 40hrs/week. Rather, a workaholic is someone who negatively impacts their work and others with their unbalanced work habits.

I think this is an important distinction to make as I believe running your own business requires more than the standard 40hrs/week. The challenge though is to make sure that extra time you’re spending is actually useful and not harming the business — in other words, you don’t turn into a workaholic.
