wait until you try to start a business on top
the easiest part would then be to cut everything off, maybe everyone off too
I run my own company. Do hobbies on the side. Started a side hustle doing woodworking, spend time with my kids and girl, go on trips, relax, and get plenty of sleep. I just don't do everything in one day.
wow, that's inspiring.
I agree that it is a balancing act that one must master. But when one doesn't yet have their footing in something, it feels like that initial workload is greater then the balance that comes in upholding the hustle in the future.
Just some thoughts from experience, maybe my weakness is thinking this way. Excuses are a coping mechanism that I'm trying to cut out of my life rn.
No I definitely agree that when you're first starting it's much more difficult to balance things I know 6 years ago when I first started I definitely didn't have the work-life balance I do now but that's the goal and that's the reason we run a business is to get that work-life balance and be able to master it. At this point in time unless I have clients that are demanding my time I usually tell them what my schedule is what I have available and build in my time for everything else with my family with my vacations with my hobbies. Like for example I'm starting to take Fridays off now so I can work on my woodworking business that I'd like to start so that way I have more time at home and time with my family because they actually do that with me.
I DMd you
