No matter how much you love what you do, yes, you can get burnt out. Does your dad treat you like an equal or a tool? Make sure you're getting paid well for your time, at some point you're going to want to relax and enjoy yourself . Years ago I worked for a guy that treated me like a tool and he didn't think twice about booking me for calls well into the evening everyday, while he spent his evenings and weekends building a log cabin, he'd just book another call onto my list. At the end of that summer I really didn't have anything to show for it but a tired body ( back then they didn't even pay overtime) but he had a new house. It turned out to be a good thing because I decided I couldn't do much worse so I quit him and started my own business, afterall, if you're going to put in that much time, it might as well be for you, not him.
