Why Work Life Balance Is a Myth and What to Aim For Instead

21 Aug

Show Notes

If more than 60% of your business still runs through you, you’ve got a problem.

Work life balance? Forget it. It doesn’t exist. That’s why chasing it just leaves you frustrated. What you actually need is harmony, the kind that lets your business grow without burning out your marriage, your health, or your freedom.

In this episode, Mark and Caroline break down the truth about delegation, guilt, and why “good enough” beats “perfect” every single time. You’ll see how to stop being the bottleneck, reclaim your time, and finally get back to the reasons you started the business in the first place.

From redefining success at home and in the office to finally understanding the cost of inaction, this conversation will give you practical ways to reclaim the time and freedom you started your business for in the first place.

In this episode, Mark explores:
