#026 How Small Business Owners Can Escape the Struggle Between Work and Leisure
In this episode, host Daran Wastchak will be talking about a struggle that’s been going on for mankind for thousands of years, and is as strong today as it’s ever been.
The struggle he's referring to is with time.
The time we devote to work, and the time we devote to leisure, when we’re not working.
Daran's going to take a philosophical look at work and leisure, how the struggle between the two is actually a relatively new phenomenon in our evolutionary history as a species, and how, while this struggle may seem inevitable, and something that most everyone has simply resigned themselves to, it doesn’t have to be that way for everyone.
In particular, it doesn’t have to be that way for small business owners.
Join Daran for this week’s episode and he’ll explain exactly why and how.
Enjoy the show and don't forget to...
Stay focused on your freedom!
