So, I want to write a 20 paragraph comment here on how much I agree with this. The term "Work/Life Balance" always makes me cringe. Work is a part of my life, not the counterweight to my life. Being the leader in my company means I have to be available when needed, not when it works for me. The buck stops with me (except for the owner, but part of my job is making his life easy, so I try to make sure I handle everything so he doesn't have to). Part of being a leader in my family (along with Mike, of course) mean communicating to them clearly what that looks like and prioritizing them when it matters.

Attempting to give 100% to both simultaneously leads to failure at both.

I'm really enjoying your posts every day, I need to comment on a few more when I have time. Keep it up!
