On: An entrepreneur says 32-hour weeks ‘killed work ethic’ at his startup

Right, and this is why all big corporations fail? /s

Work is less than relevant, what matters is that your actual customer is happy and you're finding new leads. That you can be flexible is typically a part of it. That you never sacrifice your customer's satisfaction for your convenience.

Being focused may or may not be a component.

(BigCo have a problem that their actual customers are often the shareholders.)

What you're describing sounds exactly like a motivated worker. The OP and my comment is about incurring a selection mechanism for unmotivated workers.
