Week Eleven

The videos seemed a little contradictory this week. Some of the videos week mentioned that you cannot be a successful business person and also live a balanced life, but some of the videos said it was possible. One of the entrepreneurs this week said that he had the goal of never saying the word "can't". He had a family and I would imagine that by bringing that up he meant that there are times when you feel you can't do both, but he would do both. There is the idea that you cannot be successful in a business sense and have a balanced home life too. I think it is definitely possible. Especially after the interview I had with my dad about being an entrepreneur. He at first thought that his only choice was to do what the hospital wanted, but as time went on and he was forced to make time for himself, the church, and his family, he learned how to make it work for him. By having more experience working, he learned how he could make those decisions to give himself more free time to do the other things he wanted to do besides work. There is slack that can be used to make time in a personal life, you just need to learn where you can pick up that slack and do what you want alongside the things you need to do.
