Doesn't "not having plenty of time to spend with our family and friends" follows directly from not winding up at 5?
Regardless of what you consider a failure, the hard fact is most of the businesses demand time - a lot of time. And there are only so many hours in a day. For the starting days, putting up south of 12 hours is common, and that takes a toll on the time you would have spent with your near and dear ones.
