MBA2146 Is Your Business Pushing You Around?

The $100 MBA Show

At first, your business is your baby.

But if you’re not mindful, it can quickly turn into a monster.

Many entrepreneurs learn this the hard way, as responsibilities and obligations multiply, and gradually encroach on the boundaries between your work and your life. You may not see it coming; taking a weekend call here, sacrificing a workout there, cutting family time just a little short…

Before you know it, your business dictates a lifestyle that supports it, instead of enabling a lifestyle you want.

Today, we share the various ways people end up as victims of their own creations, and the telltale signs that you might be headed that way. We’ll share examples from our own experience, as well as tips for protecting yourself.

Don’t let your business become a bully. Click Play!
