A speaker argues for prioritizing family and health over maximizing income, describing how they rejected traditional office hours around childcare. The pandemic revealed many jobs don't require commuting or fixed schedules. Unexpectedly, focusing on life led to systems that preserved time and increased earnings anyway.
There's some people I love in business, but I don't want their life. They don't get to see their kids. They don't get to see their spouse. They're not taking care of themselves. They're doing stuff they shouldn't be doing. Right now I'm more focused on my life than I am making money. But something interesting happens when you do that. I started making more money because I was so focused on like, constraint. I want time. I need to create businesses and systems around that to allow me to live. Not to say I don't work late at night sometimes I'd say I won't get up early before the kids get up, but I will. But I gave myself permission to like, I don't have to go to work and I haven't been in the office until five. There's no need. Especially now. It's pretty cool. With what happened with Pandemic, people realize that you don't have to go to work, make money.
