The CEO of $48 billion Shopify says long hours aren't necessary for success: 'I'm home at 5:30pm every evening'

"I realize everyone's twitter feed looks different. But I'll go ahead and subtweet two conversations that I see going by right now: a) How the heck did Shopify get so big this decade and b) You have to work 80 hours a week to be successful," he tweeted.

"I've never worked through a night. The only times I worked more than 40 hours in a week was when I had the burning desire to do so. I need 8ish hours of sleep a night. Same with everybody else, whether we admit it or not,"Shopify has had a spectacular few years. Its revenues have doubled since 2017, solidly beating Wall Street estimates quarter after quarter, growing from $171.46 million in Q3 September, 2017, to $390.55 million in Q3 September 2019, its latest complete quarter.

Some/most don't have Luck on their side that jump-starts them into the success.

That's true. But in order to create a $48 billion company, you have to put hours in.
