Ever heard of a false dichotomy?
I remember learning about it during my late teens. I happen to recall some of the oddest things at times. Not sure if that's just me.
Anyways, a false dichotomy is a logical fallacy. Someone puts up two options pretending they're the only options available even though in reality, that isn't the case.
You'll recognise these:
"You're either with us or against us."
"If you aren't a vegan, you hate animals."
"I'd rather be healthy than rich."
You can probably see that these are all objectively wrong. Pretending that you HAVE to choose one of the two.
Might as well add one more to the list…
"Work Life Balance."
Are you not alive when you're at work? Does your life start when your work ends? Does your life end when your work starts?
I don't know about you, but quite a few of my ideas have come while I was walking and enjoying life.
Work is a part of life. ESPECIALLY for business owners like you and I. Both are part of each other.
Don't let anyone talk you into this being weird or wrong.
