Want to learn the secrets to work-life balance? Rob and his callers discuss their struggles to balance their time between work, family, and health. It’s challenging to spread your time properly when you’re building a growing business. However, if you don’t learn to prioritize family and health, then you will suffer in the long run.

Our friend Hitomi starts off the discussion relaying her experience with work life balance stress. Maintaining her personal growth has been a challenge as she grows her business. Her success has come at a cost to her health and relationships with family and friends. Therefore, she has taken action intentionally the past five years. She advises all of the other callers to prioritize their own health.

Rob responds, admitting that while his real estate business was growing, he was living out of balance himself. Working extra hours resulted in weight gain from neglecting nutrition and exercise. He straightened his priorities before the damage was irreparable, but it cost him in his own personal relationships.

Right or wrong, building a business from the ground up requires sacrifices, and the damage is almost unavoidable. This is because most business owners go into their endeavors without knowing how much work it will take to succeed. Once you realize what your new lifestyle entails, you scramble to juggle every aspect involved. Rob soon realized the importance of hiring staff to perform certain tasks so he could concentrate on what only he could do.

Nick concurred with these statements. He is starting his second business, and learning from the challenges of his first. Spending time with his wife and young daughter are his top priorities. Rob has seen his dedication firsthand.

Rob starts off the clip reminding us that readers are leaders. Yes, that’s a cliche’ we’ve all heard before, but it’s a cliche’ for a reason – it’s true!

The Psychology Of Money by Morgan Housel is first on Rob’s recommended reading list. He promises that reading this book will change your outlook on both investing and wealth. Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell may not be a comprehensive guide, but it will help you understand how much you should value your time. Remember, time is the one commodity you can not get more of! The Richest Man Who Ever Lived by Steven K. Scott has helped Rob apply Godly wisdom from the Book of Proverbs to his life. Remember, God gave Solomon a choice between wealth and wisdom. Solomon chose the gift of wisdom, so God blessed him with enormous riches as well. After all, a fool and his money are soon parted.

Finally, Rob highlights The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.  He constantly references this book in our community meetings, with good cause. This book is a game changer, teaching how to center our business and personal lives around principals. You don’t have to read it all the way through again to learn from it. Flip to a chapter that applies to your current needs for a quick refresher course.

Although Rob listens to audiobooks on the go, he stresses that physical books are better for learning. He practices repeating and highlighting passages that jump out at him. When you have a book in front of you, rather than Airpods in your ears, chances are that you are focused in. There’s less of a chance that you’ll be distracted by something you see while reading.

You have investments, ranging from your business to real estate holdings to stocks. Rob Rowsell explains an essential tool to keep up with them: a spreadsheet tracking financial progress, which he calls the Strategic Financial Analysis Form. All members of Rob’s Addicted to Life Community have access to this form, as well as his guidance to make the most of it. Track your active and passive income and watch them grow over time as you approach financial freedom!

First, Rob pulls up the spreadsheet. He then breaks down each section for the callers, since it may overwhelm the untrained eye. Sections in the form track assets, income, and expenses from last period and this period. The Income section is divided into Active Income, Passive Income, and Passive Residual Income (PRI). Net Worth from Passive Income generally includes capital gains from passive investments. PRI includes such numbers as rents, royalties, and interest.

Rob then punched in a few sample numbers to show how they interact with each other. The Financial Freedom Formula automatically crunches the numbers and tracks where the sample user is in their journey to their ultimate goal. A spreadsheet tracking financial progress is so crucial to meeting that goal. Join our community today and make use of this great resource!
