A Dark Side Of Entrepreneurship
We talk about the dark side of being entrepreneur and the importance of socialising – which may not be as easy as it seems for somebody who runs an online business. There are no Fridays, no holidays and you work 9-9. The flip side? You absolutely LOVE it and do not regret it one bit!
Does Work Life Balance Exist?
It does and it doesn’t according to Mike. There is no one static point at which we land. We are on a constant journey to reaching it – it’s more important how you are trying to get there instead of being there.
