“Our culture readily embraces the concept of ‘work-life’ balance, always striving for that ideal mix of pay and play.  Unavoidable obligations on both sides of the scale cause us to pursue the perfect equilibrium between work and home.  We persist in our attempts to simultaneously excel in both facets of life assuring ourselves that we can conquer this daemon.  We never once stop to assess the utility of our efforts because time eludes us.  Perhaps there is no better time than now, however, to reconsider the merits of our struggle for the precise work-life balance.  Nike founder Philip Knight put it best when he remarked that “[t]here is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced. How you go about that is the key to success.”

This is the first paragraph of our ebook Stop The Rollercoaster – I Want Off!  (Navigating the Ups and Downs of Today’s Business World)®.  We are continuously searching for the elusive blend of work/life balance combination in our existence.  At some point in our lives we adopted this belief that we can have a very successful professional life, be the perfect parent, be the perfect spouse/partner, be the ultimate citizen and still have time for ourselves to do the things we enjoy.  And when it doesn’t work out that way, we chastise ourselves for failing to make this work/life balance thing work

We push ourselves professionally by working at home on evenings and weekends, taking our Blackberries, computer and cell phone on vacation and by responding to emails while watching our child’s soccer game.  And we wonder why we’re tired and why our friends and family think we’re MIA.  As leaders and business owners we wonder how to get more time and better performance from our employees and are routinely seeking for the key to make this happen.  We twist ourselves into knots trying to satisfy our customers, our staff, and our friends or family.  In the process we get lost, and our needs are left unsatisfied.  No longer do we distinguish between what we want, and what others want of us…they become one and the same.  We don’t understand why we feel ‘off’, can’t get to the things that are important to us or sometimes even remember what hobbies or interests we actually have.

How do you get better performance from yourself and your staff without sacrificing everything in your life, or asking them to?  There’s no single answer that will work for everyone, but we certainly have a number of convincing ideas and can offer you new ways to think about work/life balance for you and your company.  In Stop The Rollercoaster – I Want Off! (Navigating the Ups and Downs of Today’s Business World)® we share these concepts so that you can recognize that work/life balance isn’t a place to arrive to, it’s a constant push/pull and yin/yang state of being.
