Finding Your Non-Negotiable for Health Work-Life Balance with Terry Toh

Recently my friend Justin asked on X, “How do you define success?” I said, “Can I knock off for a day at will  to spend time with my family?”The world constantly tells us we need to hustle to be successful – but that can’t be true. If you’re a parent, for example, hustle is just not an option. That’s why I’ve brought on Terry Toh. Terry helps business owners successfully run their side business while maintaining a full-time job. But as you’ll see, much of what he has to say can apply to busy solopreneur who may have other obligations – like family, volunteer work, or other interests outside of work. It’s all about finding your non-negotiable. Want to hear a longer, ad-free version of this episode where Terry and I talk about Silicon Valley Hustle Culture?
