Business, Career, Priorities, and Stopping

by Timberry on October 28, 2010

I had just read Chris Brogan’s Pay Yourself First – an excellent post, clear and well presented, from a very well known and respected blogger –  and posted my own reflections about work/life balance as is work/life balance a good thing in a startup, when I caught Pam Slim’s Unicorns, rainbows and work-life balance. Those are all good reading, and food for thought.

And there was this video, Scott Stratten, author of Unmarketing, on keeping going until we stop. Megan has been recommending him and his book to me, so I clicked, started watching, and couldn’t stop.
