Balance is Bunk

I don’t believe in balance. Certainly not for small business owners. By balance I mean that idea that you can have all things in equilibrium — with all areas carefully parceled out a fair portion of your time, energy and enthusiasm. I mean, where’s the fun in that?

But What am I Learning Along the Way?

I’m developing a deep hate/love relationship with the internet. I have to say it that way because I hate it so much more than I love it. There’s a lot of bad stuff out there. Stuff that wastes your time. Stuff that promises to give you value, when it just wants to sell you crap. Stuff that’s just bad.

It might feel like it’s too late. You’ve run the business a certain way for a long time, and it feels like maybe your employees are stuck in a rut. Now, even when you try to do something different, your long-time employees just role their eyes. “Just wait, it will go back to the way it was”, you hear them say.
