Our show today is looking at how happiness is best shared with those who love us, and how striving for success can lead to a life alone.  

In the entrepreneurial sphere, there is a lot of pressure to succeed, and it can become an incessant drive to create the monumental, something that might bring wealth and recognition. But at what cost? Do you see the point of chasing a six-figure dream if it means losing sight of the people who matter most? The notion of happiness being somewhere 'out there' is all too familiar. Yet, real contentment often blooms from within us, nurtured by gratitude and cherished moments with loved ones.

This week, I've taken a breather with family visiting from afar, enjoying shared memories and crafting new ones. It's a reminder that on our deathbeds, no one wishes they'd spent more time working. We need to find balance in life—a core concept in coaching. It's about making time for the meaningful connections in our lives.

The renowned Stephen Covey speaks of "sharpening the saw," a metaphor for nurturing our relationships. Just like maintaining a sharp tool, we need to put effort into our connections to ensure they flourish. So, let's make time for those who matter—family, friends, significant others—and create memories that outlast any business triumph.

If left unchecked, our work-driven habits can lead to personal and health setbacks. That's why it's crucial to address imbalances and, if needed, seek help. Whether it's through life planning or coaching, the goal is to cherish life and the people around us.
