It can feel like an impossible set of choices: leadership or family life.
Being an entrepreneur, growing a business, and becoming a leader seem to be on one side, and on the other there's finding a life partner, maybe having children, and being present for your family.
It all seems like an impossible balancing act, one that every leader has to face, and where stress and anxiety become an everyday way of living. Attempting to fulfill this juggling act can make it seem like many things are going to get dropped, or that there is no real way to succeed. But what if we’re going about this all wrong?
What if instead of doing more, we actually need to do NOT just less, but nothing? Is that even possible?
