One of the best parts of doing the job we do is the chance to work with lots of different types of people who work in lots of different types of industries in lots of different types of ways. No one is quite like anyone else, even those who work in similar areas.

Even with all these differences, what we do is fulfilling when we can help those other businesses reach their goals. For even though there are many ways to get there, we all are aiming toward similar endpoints.

The concept of these different ways to work came up last week due to the Memorial Day holiday. For, just like every three-day weekend, the idea comes up of how it would be great to always have a four-day work week. The Atlantic covered the idea in a rather in-depth article last year, with views both in favor of and against the shortened work week.

Then again, if you want only the rosy view of working fewer days, you should instead read this more biased piece on inc.com. If even that is not enough, take a look at a San Diego Company that stands by five-hour work days.

The jokes almost write themselves when it is a beachside paddle board company that is embracing less work hours as a company tenet. But if it works for them, and still allows the company to thrive, can anyone fault them for it?

Not every company could work like that, however. Some manufacturing work simply could not hold up to that schedule. Sure, it may be possible to buckle down and put in a lot of work on a paddle board during a five-hour shift, but if you are running a machine in a factory that takes a specific amount of time to turn out a product, a certain and definite amount of productivity is lost with working fewer hours.

Again, certain ways of work are better for different companies.

Another recent article, in fact, wrote of how uber-tycoon Warren Buffett controls his schedule by only setting up meetings one day in advance. It is another novel concept, ideally letting you pursue passions and ideas as they happen instead of forcing inspiration to wrap itself around meetings that may have been scheduled weeks in advance, seem less important and feel draining while attending them.

And sure, one can certainly appreciate the theory behind this, but the fact that Warren Buffett can do it has a lot to do with the fact that he is Warren Buffett.

When it comes to what we do in our company, well, we are not Warren Buffett and (unfortunate as it may be) do not work with anyone of his caliber. We do, however, work with many great people and businesses. They run the gamut from individuals who are successful through short bursts of intense work, to those who work hours that sound numerous and draining, but yet they love it.

Either way, I find that the most successful endeavors are carried out by those who love what they do. That passion and drive shows in the end product. Our passion and drive is to take care of some of the financial aspects for those companies, while they pursue the parts of business that excites them most. So if this is something we could help you with, please feel free to contact us.
