As a business owner, you know there is no shortage of things to do. There are customer issues, employee issues, vendor issues, fires to put out, and sales to grow. Then when you get home there are those responsibilities too. You need to spend time with your spouse and family as well as the other chores that need to be done.
How do you find time to do it all? How can you get a better work/life balance? Does that even exist or is it the ever elusive unicorn?
Well, it might start with asking what work/life balance actually means...for you and your spouse. This episode is not a one size fits all approach but to give you a framework of how, together, you and your spouse can find better balance in your business and marriage.
