Program SummaryMany self-employed people let their business invade too much of their personal space, which eventually turns their life into the complete opposite of the freedom and flexibility they imagined when going into it. This means living in a state of conflict between wanting to give their business everything theyve got and not being willing to sacrifice their sanity, enjoyment of life, health and relationships to make it work. Over time living this way takes a toll on the body and brain, in turn, resulting in getting less and less out of each day while working more. The root of the problem? A majority of people going into self-employment havent taken any training in the most important skills required: planning and prioritizing! This program shares a few light and effective techniques coming from the most progressive world of planning wisdom: high-tech startups, to help you figure out how to live the life you want now, instead of keeping it on hold.
