A Fine Balance: a podcast that explores how to find a work-life balance that works for you
This work life balance lesson episode explores which is better for your work-life balance: being self-employed or employed? To do this, I've summarised the lessons I've learned from interviewing a range of self-employed and employed people – about whether it's better for your work-life balance to be your own boss, or to be employed by someone else. I've also done a bit of number-crunching to find out, for example, what proportion of interviewees on 'A Fine Balance' that have experienced "burnout" have done so while being employed by someone else or have worked for themselves. Have you ever wondered if the grass is greener on the other side? Perhaps you are self-employed and considering re-entering the workplace as an employee? Or you currently work for someone and want to break away to start up your own thing. Or maybe you're just generally interested in how people from all walks of life balance work with everything else. If so, then this episode is for you!

A Fine Balance: a podcast that explores how to find a work-life balance that works for you
Do you rely on your morning routine to set yourself up for the day? Could your morning routine do with some improvement? Are you curious about how establishing a morning routine could help enhance how you balance work with everything else in life? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then this episode could be just the one for you. A clear trend has emerged from all the conversations I've featured on the blog and podcast, 'A Fine Balance': that how a person manages their time in the morning has a direct correllation to how well they feel able to balance their work with everything else in their lives. When you get it right, your morning routine can make all the difference. So, how do you figure out what a good morning routine looks like? And why does a routine in the morning matter more than other times in the day - or does it? This podcasat episode addresses these questions and more, and summarises the many examples people have shared of morning routines that work for them. So grab yourself a pen and paper, as you may want to take notes on this super practical podcast episode, in which I've extracted all the tips I've picked up on the morning routines that have been proven to enhance people's sense of work-life balance. Finding your balance is an individual pursuit. So, of course, establishing a morning routine that suits your personal circumstances and interests is totally subjective. The trick is finding what individually enhances your sense of balance, and why. Then being intentional about how you set your priorities.

A Fine Balance: a podcast that explores how to find a work-life balance that works for you
This Work, Life, Balance Lesson is all about finding a balance between work and everything else in life when you hate your job. Now, hate is a strong word, which I don't use lightly. In this case, it's a direct quote from people I've interviewed on this podcast who have talked about this exact thing. And it's right that it's a strong word because when you don't like the work you do, it has an incredibly strong impact. A person's job is often the benchmark against which people measure their value and identity, as well as being a means to pay the bills and put food on the table. Regardless of the number of hours spent working, feeling like you hate your job will inevitably impact your sense of balance detrimentally. In this episode, “hating your job” is categorised into three depths of feeling: 1. Rock bottom: a whole hearted hatred, which likely leads to a crisis point. 2. A mid-depth where you might hate aspects of your job, or your chosen career, but not all of it. 3. A shallow level of hatred, perhaps better termed as “not loving your job”. Here, you may feel uninspired or excited by your work, but you recognise the limits of its value to you, and other aspects of life compliment the job to make it more tolerable. Throughout the episode I share some examples that have featured on the podcast that relate to each of those levels of “depth” of hating your job, and share some of the actions that have helped people regain their balance in those situations. Here are links to some of the Work-Life Balance stories featured on the blog or podcast, 'A Fine Balance', which are referenced throughout this episode: On Marketing, Corporate Cultures, Having Fun, and Asking for Help - Dan's Story: https://a-fine-balance.com/2024/05/22/on-marketing-corporate-cultures-having-fun-and-asking-for-help-new-podcast-episode-out-now-featuring-dan-knowlton/ On Teenage Pregnancy, Teacher Burnout & Finding Balance When You're “Busy” - Laura's Story: https://a-fine-balance.com/2023/05/26/a-fine-balance-the-podcast-season-2-episode-5-out-now/ On Part-Time Working Fatherhood, Perfectionism & Finding Balance When Living with Cancer - Sam's Story: https://a-fine-balance.com/2023/12/18/a-fine-balance-the-podcast-season-2-episode-8-out-now/ Finding Balance in Retirement: Tom's Story – on Empathy, Leadership & Passion for your Vocation: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/ulx9EoIO0Jb “It Doesn't Have To Be That Way” – Finding Balance by Setting Precedents: Katherine's Story – on setting work-life boundaries as a legal professional & sharing the workload in marriage: https://a-fine-balance.com/2022/04/01/it-doesnt-have-to-be-that-way-finding-balance-by-setting-precedents-katherines-story-on-setting-work-life-boundaries-as-a-legal-professional-sharing/ On Not Being Career-Oriented & Finding Balance as a Musician and a Newlywed - Amanda's Story: https://a-fine-balance.com/2023/02/03/its-official-season-two-of-a-fine-balance-the-podcast-is-live/

Everyone wants to be an author, but nobody wants to write a book. Let's face it—writing a book is an arduous task. And even though you have a magnificent message to communicate, the frustration you'll encounter, the time you'll invest, and the sleep you'll lose trying to write your book just isn't worth it. You have more important things to accomplish. But how do you write a book without actually writing a word? Sounds click-bait, doesn't it? But our guest in this episode does say it is possible. Michael DeLon helps business owners publish a book that positions them as the expert in their field. Michael is the author of On Marketing, a #1 Amazon Best-Selling author, and the Creator of The Credibility Game Plan.

He's a committed follower of Jesus Christ who is deeply involved in his church. You can normally find Michael investing time with his family, reading a great book, or facilitating growth in the lives of those around him. Here are the highlights of this episode: Michael's ideal clients are those professional service providers; financial advisor, attorney, coach, or even realtor. And often times, they didn't realize that they look like their competition, meaning similar methods or offerings. And because of that, the prospect customers don't see any compelling reason to choose them over the competitor. They felt that they are losing sales that they should be winning. They have the initial conversation with the prospects but they don't know why they are not closing the sales. Therefore, they felt stressed out, discouraged, and frustrated. He says it's important that prospects have a positive mindset about you, and for them to know your story. Because when you tell your story, it resonates with people and then they bond with you. He states that when you know how people think about you, everything becomes easier. Your message will become clear, your story will resonate with people, they will bond with you emotionally, and that will cause them to move towards you. Michael's Valuable Free Action (VFA): Remember that people buy "who you are" more than what you do. Try to discover your story, not create them. Discover your story that's unique about you and tell that.

What an honor it was to talk to Seth Godin. I almost decided to title this episode The One Where Seth Godin Kicks Me in the Ass, because that's kind of what happened. I kept talking about one thing and Seth kept trying to bring me around to another thing. I'd like to think in the time since we recorded this conversation, I've taken put some of Seth's advice into practice. Regardless, I had a tremendously fun time talking to one of my heroes. Seth is an amazingly smart and kind man and oozes wisdom. A self-described starter of projects, Seth is the author of 18 bestselling books and I was was truly delighted to speak with him about life, business, meaning and how all of that intersects. Here are some of my favorite bits from the show: On Marketing and Shortcuts “A marketer's job is to tell a story that resonates with us.” “All the people who talk about market and study up on the short-cuts are never heard from five years later.” “You do not find anybody who has built a career or a life that they're proud who says,'Seven years ago I discovered shortcut X and told everyone and spent all my time on shortcut X'. This is not the way it works.” The Difference Between Jobs and Work “I think that it is worthy to have a job. I think that many of us need to have a job and a job is the thing you do to feed your family. And the work is what we call it when we are doing the thing that is personal, when we are doing the thing that makes our heart beat faster, when we are doing the thing that contributes to the community. And sometimes (and I would put myself in this category), we are fortunate enough to have both be the same thing. But if you are requiring both to be the same thing and want to bootstrap your way into that, you're going to cripple each of them.” On Tension and Fear “I think what makes the work worth talking about is tension and fear. There is tension because we are simultaneously doing something that might work and something that might not work. And living with both of those things at the same time is very difficult for most people.” “It's one thing to be afraid. But mostly we are afraid of being afraid. Mostly we are insulating ourselves from any situation where we might actually feel afraid. And that is why people look for shortcuts and that is why people hesitate to do work that matters. Not because we can't deal with the fear, but because the fear of the fear is keeping us from even trying.” “My thesis is that this tension, this fear, this felling is the *point*. If we go to work and we do not feel it, we're not actually at work.” What Professionals Do “What professionals do is they go to work to face the fear on a regular basis. What professionals do not do is wait until they're in the mood. They do not wait for inspiration to strike. They show up on a regularly basis, find the thing they're afraid of and dance with it.” “I think that most people have the ability to have a job where someone doesn't tell them what to do every minute of the day. If you have one of those jobs, you could *chose* to fill it with meaning.” On The Struggle and the Work “The fact is if you're trusted and known by people who count on you, you're probably not going to have trouble making a living.” “It is entirely possible to make a living doing work you believe in. But it's also true that most of the people who whine about this have not developed sufficient talent. They're jus
