Jeff Stibel has a great post
on entrepreneurs and work-life balance.
“As entrepreneurs,
we have zero sense of balance.
We’re all in,
all the time.
It doesn’t matter if it’s day or night,
weekday or weekend —
each of us focuses on our vision
with a single-minded passion.”
He’s right.
We’re not balanced.
Sure, we do our best to spend time
with our family and friends
but we don’t often indulge in
other entertainment.
We don’t need to.
As a writer, I work damn hard,
producing product,
building a brand,
expanding the business.
I no longer need to go to the movies
or take work-free vacations
or to get away from the business.
Why?
Because I truly love what I do.
Sure, some days, it is challenging
but I don’t want to do anything else.
When you’re living your dream,
you don’t need a vacation.
