One of my favorite chapters in this book is Chapter 6,
"The Work / Life Blender." In this chapter, I dispute the idea that work and life need to be 50/50, or that you need to find a way to balance things at all.
I'm not talking about ignoring your family completely or ignoring your business. Instead, I share an alternative idea that life is like a blender. You toss in all of the ingredients (work, play, family, etc.) and it all gets mixed up. Sometimes you need more spinach in your life (work) and sometimes you need more fruit (family).
Chapter 6 shares key ideas as to how I've not only grown a business for 20 years, but also improved my 15+ year marriage to my wife while raising our 5 kids (who are homeschooled).
If you struggle with "balancing it all" — this chapter is for you!
