So I came bounding through the back door with this big fat check in hand knowing that it was going to blow your socks off

And you were going to be so impressed with me and I showed it to you and I mean in fairness

You're usually my biggest cheerleader. Yeah, but you kind of were impressed

You kind of looked at it and kind of gave me a half smile and said we need to talk

And I knew in my heart of hearts that I was in trouble

Hi, I'm Michael Hyatt and I'm Gail Hyatt. What?

Yep, that's right. Megan Hyatt Miller is not with us this week

But her mother is and I promise you this is going to be a very interesting show

Because we're going to be talking about the whole life impact of work life balance and to keep me honest

I've got my wife of 43 years here. So here's the deal. Actually, it's really close to 44

That's true. I mean just a few more weeks six weeks. All right, so we recently surveyed and discussed in a previous episode

More than 200 full-focus planner users who identified as high achievers and about half said they work more than 50 hours a week

Even though only 18%

Said their employers expected that of them. So in other words

This isn't required. This is something they've just decided that they want to do they want to work that much

That doesn't surprise me and it's in a sense. It doesn't either and I bet you and these are people who work for other people right and

So people who work for themselves. It's got to be even higher than that. Yeah, no doubt

Well, when I talk with business owners when they start our business accelerator program

They often struggle here and usually

To a greater degree just as you're pointing out, Gail, but every business owner

I know does struggle with this whole thing of work life balance

I mean, it just seems like there's so much to get done and there's so little time to do it
