Work life and home life seem to be something that everyone struggles with separating. It is so hard to find a balance between the two. Its funny because my husband and I were just having a conversation about this earlier this week before I knew this is what we would be learning. He is a manager of a door to door solar sales team. While being a manager of an office he is expected to hit really high numbers on the doors, work 6 days a week, and work sun up to sun down. Now that the sunset is earlier it is getting better but when the sunset wasn't until 9 pm our family life really struggled. The company was expecting him to work 12-13 hour days, 6 days a week. We are constantly trying to figure out a system that works for us to balance the two.
In the video "Is Work/Life Balance Possible" by Ann Miura-Ko she talks about other entrepreneurs leaving their families for something they are truly passionate about. She tells us that if we aren't passionate about it then we will hit a crisis of conscious. If you are going to go to work and leave your family then you need to make sure its worth it of you in the end. You need to be really passionate about what your doing or else it isn't worth the struggle and sacrifice your family is making.
