Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch! Today, Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss discuss the real-life challenges of entrepreneurship, personal growth, and finding that elusive work-life balance. They emphasize the importance of maintaining non-work activities for a fulfilling life. Discover practical strategies for financial resilience, the power of fresh perspectives in business, and the myth of work-life balance. Tune in for an honest conversation that goes beyond the usual “everything’s great” facade and provides actionable advice for thriving in both business and life.
Highlights:
“Anybody who, when you ask them like, ‘Oh, how’s it going?’ If they’re always like, ‘great,’ you’re probably not that close to them.”
“It’s very possible to be self-employed or start a business from scratch and still have a family life. You will work differently than a nine to five typical job.”
“There’s a big difference between being an entrepreneur and being self-employed. You have to be responsible for the allocation of your time.”
