2/22/2017

Work/life balance is the concept that you should prioritize your work life and home life according to what brings you the most achievement and enjoyment. Sounds nice, right? There are a million articles on work/life balance and even an entire site dedicated to the concept.

You're a small businessperson. Maybe you've gotten an idea built out enough to pitch to investors, maybe you've been running for a while and investors have come calling on you instead. You're in your meeting, your pitch deck is pristine, and you're ready to go. This is your big moment. The make-or-break for your business, your goals, for your life. Right?
