I agree with JohnKeegan too. I am about as far from a hard charger as one could find. I started as a landscape guy with no experience learned a lot on the job and some in the class room. I still enjoy running equipment and creating landscapes. However, I do not want to "have" to do it. I want to have a true business not a job (E-Myth). My business was and still is too dependent on me. I am trying to create a business that could run and not skip a beat without me. One of the great things about Marty's Boot Camp is there are all different kinds of people/ business owners there. Some go getter type A guys, some laid back trying to improve some aspect of there businesses and some in the middle. I have heard great things about Jim Paluch too. I'm sure there are other such events/groups that are great. I think it is of great value to get involved with a group of people with an interest in improving there businesses. For me it's not about the money (though I have nothing against money) it's about building a great team and business I can be proud of. I already have way more than I ever thought I would, in terms of the business I've built in the last few years.

BTW- I work Monday -Friday 6:45am to 4 ish. Saturdays for 0-3 hours depending on the season, meeting clients etc... and no Sundays ever. I am home for lunch most days and home to see my kids once or twice a day for 15 to 45 minutes. Sound like a hard charger?
