Phil Risher argues your business should serve your life, not consume it. Set boundaries to protect what matters. If you built it for freedom, don't let it become just another job that steals your time from family, community, and faith.
Your business is a vehicle for your life. It's not your life that's number one. And if we understand that to be the truth, then that's going to create a different paradigm. And we built the business for a reason and sometimes we have to just question what that reason was and oftentimes it was wanted more freedom. But sometimes we build the business and then we just have a glorified job. We just have to get clear of what our priorities. So another word for boundaries is protecting priorities. All I would say to someone out there that's listening to this if you're not 84 and you're not a great grandfather and you're still young enough to make some changes, reevaluate what those priorities are so you can just demonstrate the leadership that's needed for your family, for your community, for your faith, for something that's bigger than just the business because the business is a vehicle for your life. It's not your life.
