“Fortunes are made outside of the 9-5″

We talk a lot about balance.  Balance at work, balance at home.  Keeping boundaries and having strict standards.  Mainly because we work with the super producers and elite who are in risk of losing what they love most because of their insane lifestyles. 

As much as I think balance is good and healthy – the reality is that our life comes to us as a life in seasons.  There is a time to plant and a time to harvest. In order to become a super-producer and be on the top of the heap, you must be willing to do what others won’t.  Becoming out of balance for a season is necessity to achieving the extra-ordinary. 

The secret becomes including those you care most about in the process so they feel a part of what you are doing.  Recognize when to be “on” and when it’s time to snuggle in by the fire and some warm cookies with those you love.  Remember, life is more of a marathon than the 50 meter race.
