Welcome everyone to the Napoleon Hill Institute Wednesday training.

We're doing trainings for over 26 years, and it's blessing to be a part of the Napoleon Hill Institute.

As chairman of the Institute, I am so grateful for the opportunity to share the wisdom of Napoleon Hill and the applicability of Napoleon Hill's philosophy, strategies,

theories, ideas into today's reality. And I appreciate it when taking the time,

please email me, David at demeltser.com. If you'd like the training exercising guide from today,

always available for you from Napoleon Hill Institute.

Today's training is titled, The Hill to Climb. Career Success through Napoleon Hill's Timeless Plan.

We're constantly told to strive for work-life balance, personal, professional balance,

like it's some perfect state of symbiosis that we can reach if we just manage our time better.

But in this balance, this facade of work-life balance, personal, professional balance,

you can't get there from here, as Paula Coproni says.

She challenges this whole idea, which I suggest you do as well.

She suggests that the way we define balance is through productivity, control, and constant efficiency

that might actually make things worse. Instead of chasing a balance that is an impossible

impossibility in the increment of 24 hours, we need to expand our perspective of balance into the

realm of the infinite, not just the incremental 24 hours that we have each day and we should

have a work-life balance each and every day within the context of those 24 hours. Caproni encourages

us to rethink what really matters. This isn't about doing more

with less. It's about letting go of the unrealistic expectation of a man-made construct of 24 hours and

balancing all of the different activities according to our personal and professional pursuits.

And those expectations as is focusing on the meaning, the values, and how we want to live.

And this guide, this exercise, this training, which I'm happy to send you, once again,
