A Real Toiler with Work Life Balance by my definition of WLB

Someone recently said to me show me someone who is successful (number 1 in their field) that has Work Life Balance. Well, I didn't have to look far....check this story out!

I was delivery training last week to an amazing group of health professionals. One of the participants was a very wise, mature, and beautiful gentlemen who absolutely stunned me with his story.


He is now retired from his profession but remains in the industry to support its continued growth, and to support those who are taking the practice to new levels.
This amazing man shared that he had taken 20 years to complete and achieve his degree. He did this while supporting his wife in her journey, and while also raising 8 children through to adulthood and to achieving their own degrees. Like I said - Just Stunning!....and successful!

So...Theres one, and I'm sure there are many more stories on the planet like this where success has come with WLB - Love to hear them by the way...

The media recently covered a story on, Shot Put legend and advancing star, Valerie Vili and Partner who separated to pursue their sporting dreams and successes. Just Stunning and successful - what a story that will be in years to come I'm sure.

So here is an example that some say is the epitome of a Healthy Obsession that has no regard for WLB. There are, again, many more stories like these. I'd love to hear these too.

So whats the difference between the two examples really?

They're both hugely successful by there own account and others, have a stunning story, have sacrificed, have focussed, and still focus on achieving the ultimate in their arenas, and being the very best they can be....

Is the difference is Work Life Balance?? What do you think?
