A short motivational YouTube monologue by Donald Burns arguing that people often 'marry' their business at the expense of family life. Burns warns that prioritizing business over loved ones can lead to loneliness and an empty sense of success, and he reframes true success as the life built with people you love rather than only financial/occupational achievement.
Time to get your priorities straight. Being married to the business is a choice. And if you keep making that choice, please do not be surprised when the people you love are no longer there. I mean, success isn't about just the bottom line. It's about the life you build with the people who you love. And if you're not careful, you're going to end up alone at the top, wondering, why does it feel so damn empty and lonely up here? This isn't about choosing between success and family. It's about redefining what success actually.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
