I had resisted for years opening an office and hiring in-house employees EXACTLY for the reasons you outlined BF.

So now I take days off, travel, use the freedom online work gives you, etc. I am MUCH happier now. Do I still obsess over my business? Yes, every single day. But I found that balance so it's all good.
It's funny post sale i've done nothing but enjoy myself and mostly enjoy time with my family. We've traveled so much and my boys who are 7 and 4 have really got to enjoy the best of me. When i was still running things I wasn't able to separate work and life. I really am an all in guy and if something pisses me off at work I can't just magically forget about it at home. So it's been really nice to have the past 4 years of being the super duper nice guy.
