Above is my take on running a business.

Josh Kaufman from The Personal MBA seems to agree:

“There are all sorts of ways to improve a company other than revenue and number of employees. By focusing on finding ideal clients, it’s possible to optimize a business for things other than profit maximization, like enjoying the process of working or having a high return on invested time.

Some things are worth more than money. Structure your business to serve your life, not your life to serve your business. The tradeoffs are worth it.”

    “Structure your business to serve your life, not your life to serve your business.”

    Someone said this before, at a past conference I attended. I had the idea of how it worked, but I don’t anymore, because I forgot some of it (the important aspects). Can you address this, for me please?

      Check out the post I linked to.

      The basic idea is to figure out what kind of life you want, then build your business (or career) around that.
