With a world busy in discussing how to achieve a balance between professional and personal life, a billionaire recently decided to go to the office with his family to spend some time with them.

Todd Graves, co-founder and CEO of Raising Cane’s restaurant chain in the US, shared his experience of setting up a successful business and the cost for the same. Speaking to CNBC Make It, Graves said, “I can’t tell you how many 15, 16-hour days I’ve worked in a row. I had to miss a lot of stuff.”

He shared that after he became a billionaire, he spent several long hours at work, while his wife would often bring their children to the office so that he could spend some time with the family. However, he added that he has found a way to distribute his workload in the day in a way that allows him to make more time for his family, reported Moneycontrol.

He added that he tries to wake up at 4:30 AM so that he can finish his work and be with his family by 11 AM. “I’m as busy as anybody I know, I travel as much as anybody I know, but I can work my schedule where I can make most of the things I need to be at with kids, family or important friends,” Graves said.

The billionaire shared that beginning a business requires dedication and to make it successful, you need to ‘multiply that by infinity’. Raising Cane’s opened their first restaurant in 1996 and now the chain has almost 800 outlets in the US and the Middle East.

Notably, earlier the executive said that his major red flag during hiring new employees for his firm is a resume that shows individuals switching jobs every two to three years.
