Although the intention might be noble, sacrificing time and presence at home to speed up things at work to create space for quality time with our family is a plan doomed to fail. It never works; we usually get stuck at work, sinking deeper every day, surrounded by things that look urgent and important, but they are not. The good news is that getting out of there is completely possible, and the better part of it is that it depends entirely on us.  In today's episode, we talk about the struggle most of us face at some point, becoming great leaders and providers without neglecting our families. We analyze the three main factors responsible for leaving us without time for what we care about most. We go through statistics that reflect entrepreneurs' hard time spending more time with their kids due to work-related issues, and we rehearse a couple of possible solutions. I also share a valuable and painful lesson I learned and the life-changing decision it helped me make. What You Will Learn In This Episode:About how what was supposed to be short springs become running in a treadmill that never stops (3:41)The cold numbers don't lie.
