Because of social conditioning, your mind has been telling you that to succeed you must work harder and longer hours. That's nonsense. When your personal and business times are balanced, there is less conflict and stress, and you become more effective and get more done in less time.

Working hard has little to do with success; working with maximum effectiveness does. Work is hard only if you don't like what you're doing or don't properly plan and control your time. There's nothing hard about what you do in your business or career if you've chosen something you love. If you have not, then high on your Goals List should be to find a new job or career. Why spend eight or twelve hours a day doing something that is not personally rewarding and fulfilling? It doesn't make sense.

Stop taking your career so seriously. Make it fun. Longer work is not better work. If you work fewer hours and have a fulfilling personal life, doing the things you dream of doing and making living fun, you'll end up accomplishing more in your business life with far less stress.
