Trying to balance all of the different areas of your life can often leave you feeling like a circus clown spinning plates, forever jumping from one plate to another, trying to keep them all from coming crashing down.
And that's the challenge with the pursuit of balance... it's fragile in its nature.
But what if balance wasn't the goal? What if instead of spinning plates, the different areas of your life were interconnected like gears, and by focusing on spinning one all others benefited at the same time?
In this episode, Joseph breaks down the spinning plates analogy and explains its shortcomings, before suggesting a new way to think about the pursuit of goals in different areas of your life.
A short, sharp and value packed episode that will change the way you think about balance in your life.
