There are numerous business devices available to entrepreneurs - to help access email the internet etc - but I wonder if they are a help or a hindrance. The blackberry is a great device, seeing my emails whenever I want to is great, but it also means no escape.  Should entrepreneurs be able to escape? If you're starting up a new business, work, work, work is part of the success story isn't it? Early starts and late nights are part of the requirement aren't they?

Whilst being able to access my emails at any time is useful in the day time, it does mean I work later on into the night (when I have switched off the computer) it's just becoming part of the norm nowadays.  As much as being committed is crucial to building up a business, time-out needs to be part of the story too...
