THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WORK-LIFE BALANCE.

The phrase was dreamed up by corporate consultants in collusion with HR departments who wanted to come up with some whitewash term that would help their employees deal with the abject misery of being employed at their company.

Why Most People Fail to Improve

Here are the big mistakes people make when trying to improve their behavior.

1. Trying to change too much at once. This doesn’t work. What does work is changing tiny parts of life at a time. Drive a wedge, get some benefit from it, drive a deeper wedge, repeat. That’s what we do here.

2. Viewing failure as a bad thing to be avoided. People think failure is a bad thing when in reality, it should be what you strive for everyday, since it causes learning & growth.

3. Not changing their environment & influences. As we’ll show, your environment is more than 60% of the battle of living la vida rico. If you want success you must change your environment and context. I made this mistake myself for nearly 30 years by staying in the same small town I was born in. I was a big fish in a small pond but I was never going to reach my potential if I stayed in that context.
