Unless it's something like 9/11 again...That's justified.

right -- legit huge news justifies it. But if your business model requires it of people on a weekly basis? Not ok.

I like to say I chose to work those crazy hours...That's just trying to make me feel better about it.

I chose it at the time, and it felt normal because everyone else was doing it too, and I wanted to succeed. :/

That's the other thing...Do we do it because everyone else does? What if we didn't follow the crowd? Would we not succeed?
