Summary

Here’s a stark warning: heart disease is America’s #1 killer, and stress is heart disease’s #1 predictor. When your work/life balance is out of whack, stress only grows. How business owners manage this delicate highwire act is quite literally a matter of life and death. Thankfully, today we recognize the link between work/life balance and overall health, and there are steps anyone can take to improve that balance and their quality of life.

Today, host Donald Miller sits down with fellow Business Made Simple leaders James Sweeting and Bobby Richards. Their discussion covers Don’s own struggles with balancing work and life, and how he was able to make positive changes that helped both his business and his family. You’ll pick up practical tips from Don’s experience, learn three principles to preserving work/life balance, and dive into the philosophy behind reframing your entire conception of success. If you feel like so many business owners do — stretched thin and afraid of burning out — be sure to catch this episode and discover what you can change today to begin restoring balance to your world.
