Bloggers and business builders commonly make this mistake, ending up with stunted growth (and stifled creativity).
There’s a stage we all go through in our writing/creating. I certainly went through it.

There’s a huge debate in the business world about “lifestyle” businesses. Is there something deep and true here?
Could it completely change the direction you choose and your definitions of “wealth,” “purpose” and “happiness?”

As a business builder you absolutely have to learn to balance the creative stuff with the business stuff.
This is something Chase Reeves is well versed in. He’s one of the hosts of the show and we get to know him in part 2 of the Meet Your Hosts series.
In this entertaining episode he shares some lessons learned as he navigated his career through media and project management stuff to reading LifeHacker.com for 10 hours a day to newborns and lay-offs and start-ups, oh my!
There’s much to glean from his colorful way of looking at these things. (five finger shoes, anyone?)
