Sometimes running a business can take over your life, especially if you built it from the ground up. It doesn’t have to be that way. Many of us become entrepreneurs because we want to steer clear of the 9 to 5 job. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But if you’re working hours on end on your business, technically, you’re still treating it like your job. My guest, David Finkel, is here to help entrepreneurs find their way to a healthy work-life balance. David is the co-author of SCALE, and a Wall Street Journal and Business Week bestselling author of 12 business books.

Personality assessments such as Kolbe, Myers Briggs, DISC, and StrengthsFinder have been proven beneficial for companies and individuals seeking to improve their understanding of who they are at a deeper level. One of the assessments we're going to talk about today is the PRINT Assessment. Not familiar with it? I invited Debra Levine to give you all the details. Debra got started with Dr. Paul Hertz in their early work when they realized there was an indisputable connection between motivation and performance. They actually proved scientifically that many of the "blockers" to improving individual and organizational performance were rooted in people's underlying motivational traits. I really love the work she's doing and excited for you to hear about it. Stay tuned! The show notes, including the transcript and checklist to this episode, are at getyourselfoptimized.com/251
