Work Life Balance

Ever heard of a "false dichotomy?"

I read about it a few years ago and it always stuck with me.

My brain holds on to the weirdest bits of information.

Yours probably does too.

Anyway... a false dichotomy is a logical fallacy.

Someone pretends there’s two options... when that’s not the case in actual reality.

You’ll probably recognise some of these:

• “You’re either with us or against us.”

• “I’d rather be healthy instead of rich.”

• “If you’re not a vegan then you hate the planet.”

You can see that these are all objectively wrong.

They pretend you have to choose between two alternatives.

When you can actually do both. I mean, you could be a vegan AND hate the planet right?

Let me add one more to the list:

• “Work-life balance.”

What are we even saying here?

Are you not alive while you’re at work?

Does your life stop when your work starts?

Does your life end when your work stops?

We’re both business owners.

I don’t know about you but some of my best ideas came to me while I was living life.

Whether I was walking in nature, spending time with friends, or while watching a movie.

I know that my work-life balance isn’t disturbed and I know that I’m not doing life wrong.

Work is a part of life.

ESPECIALLY for business owners like you and me.

It never really stops.

One bleeds into the other...

And that’s great.

So don’t let anyone talk you into this being weird or wrong.

Talk soon,
