Working hard also means working smart. It means making wise decisions about what to do, how to do it, who to delegate to, and how to manage your time. Some people might think this sounds like taking the easy way out, like being lazy. But those people are wrong. It is possible to have tremendous, unheard of success AND have a balanced life.]]> http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2010/09/21/build-what-balances-you/feed/ 5 http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2010/06/07/how-going-zero-for-ten-helped-me-succeed/ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2010/06/07/how-going-zero-for-ten-helped-me-succeed/#comments Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:22:55 +0000 JZ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/?p=1181 My daughter graduated from eighth grade last week.
