Today we talk about The Life Balance Wheel. Just like a car, if a wheel isn’t smooth, the drive isn’t going to be very smooth, and a lot of damage will occur to the vehicle. The same goes with your life. If you do not have balance within your day-to-day, month-to-month, and year-to-year, things can quickly get off the rails. I’ve identified 6 areas where we must have some sort of balance in our lives so that we are the best versions of ourselves we can be: Physical, spiritual, relational, mental, educational, and financial. So tune in and let’s help each other grow!

In today’s Independence Day special, we take a look at what “freedom” is as a business owner and if you really are as “free” as you think you are. My hope with this episode is to get you to think you how you are running your business and making sure that IT is not running YOU. Hop on the mower and buckle up cause this one might ruffle your feathers! Let’s level up!

Why the Down to Business Podcast?
"I started the Down to Business Podcast to help other small business owners navigate the trials and celebrate the victories that come with a company. Small business owners all over the country are so gifted at their craft, but struggle with the secondary tasks like accounting, marketing, business strategy, vision casting, and so much more. That's why the Down to Business Podcast exists, to give small business leaders a resource they can learn from while remaining on the go.
We're blessed to have you as listener, and we believe this podcast over time can make you a better business owner, friend, spouse, and leader."
