There was an excellent article in the Hamilton Spectator this weekend titled "Balancing Work and Life". Who amongst us wouldn't benefit from a little advice on that subject! Who is busier? The individual clocking sixty plus hours a week in a corporate environment or the entrepreneur putting in countless hours to get their business off the ground and/or trying to keep pace with it's growth?
Since I have done both, I consider myself somewhat of an expert! The answer is… both worlds are incredibly busy! So is the individual looking for work and the stay-at-home mom or dad. We must not forget the grandparents who often help out so that their kids can keep up with working life.
Do I have any answers as to how to handle it all? Only one… love what you do and it won't feel like work. Love what you do and you will feel less stressed. Will you have more time? No… but it won't matter as much because you will also be having fun.
For more substance and more concrete advice, read what the real experts say under TIPS.
