Michael Thornton none. As a business owner, one needs to work on the business (CEO hat) and work in business (COO hat). Service our clients, working in the business is a pleasure.

They're different skills - Working IN your business requires some patience and a little tolerance for boredom. Working ON your business requires creativity. Therefore, they are both good escapes from each other.

Sometimes it's one, sometimes the other. The last few weeks it's begun to shift from "in" to "on" again. But I've neglected working "on" my business all summer when we were slammed.

I would say working on the business is the most draining, because there is usually a deadline involved.
