Is there really a balance?

For all entrepreneurs - they always have one regret, not being able to clone themselves. Although my lawyer and my other friend who is a franchising consultant says that it is possible to do so - just franchise your business. It is not really true that you can "clone" yourself when you get a franchisee. Because they can never really be you. Time is of essence, perhaps that's why not many entrepreneurs blog - its because of time.
Each day there is only 16 effective hours that can be utilised for work, the remainding 8 hours are left to do all the other stuff that (although we don't like to do it) have to be done. Yes that includes driving parents and kids (and pets). Who says being part of a family is easy? Being an entrepreneur and a family person (man or woman) is really really tough. Wow, how did the others before me do it? Maybe all that crap about how they were able to juggle family life, business and everything well - is all faked. Perhaps we'll never know will we?
