As you’re Creating Your Encore Career, there can be so many adjustments that need to take place, and that makes balancing family and career can even seem more challenging.
Robert and Kay Lee Fukui, co-authors of Tandem: The Married Entrepreneurs’ Guide For Greater Work-Life Balance, Robert and Kay Lee neatly lay out many of the solutions to work-life balance in a handbook that teaches you how to succeed in marriage and business at the same time.
The Value of Work/Life Balance
Work/life balance is very healthy both in your personal life and in your business. But we're just wired to work harder because that's just how we're raised. And so, we have to learn to take a step back and take a little bit of time to rest.
Be with yourself and be with your family because you're going to be better. Your relationships will be healthier, and you're going to be so much more effective and healthier in your business. And everybody's going to like you better.
Operating From Your “Zone of Genius”
What tasks are you really excellent at, but also make you come alive?
When you're operating the majority of the time in your zone of genius in your business, your business is going to thrive. And then for the rest of the stuff, you've got to figure out how to automate, delegate, or eliminate.
As a married entrepreneur, counterbalancing your marriage with your business may feel awkward and out of step. And just like riding a tandem bike, teamwork and constant communication are key to helping you get to where you want to go successfully!
