MEASURING THE COST

 FAMILY AND WORK

This week was a tough one presenting with us a case study that does happen in the world today. 

Balancing work with family is one of the challenges that businessmen and entrepreneurs face in their life all the time. In the video "Balancing Your Life and Work Effectively," Randy Komisar discusses choosing priorities and making compromises. I concur with him that we must establish our priorities to avoid being disoriented while pursuing our goals and that some tradeoffs are unavoidable. Meg Cadoux Hirshberg provided some excellent recommendations in the film "Surviving the Entrepreneurial Life: Work and Family," including scheduling regular, scheduled family meetings, learning about and understanding your kids' needs, and including the family in your job. She gives good advice on how to make the most of intimate situations. These suggestions are excellent for the second mini-case scenario. We will be able to accomplish more with their help if we are open with them and involve our family, rather than failing. 

A proper perspective is crucial whenever we are at a crossroads. It aids us in establishing sound priorities and preventing loss while achieving our aspirations. I am appreciative of the lesson from this week and even more appreciative that I do not have to make difficult decisions like the one in the little instances. I take seriously anything having to do with the family. I initially had a lot of reservations about it, but I've now realized that no matter what, my family comes first. Clients will come and go, but my family and our relationship will always be there. I will use technology effectively and explain to the customer why it is necessary to use it at this time because it has advanced and can be used to complete all business activities.

I discovered that living a life of fulfillment does not involve working nonstop as an entrepreneur to gain money; rather, it entails loving people, juggling job and family obligations, honoring the Lord in your life, pursuing your calling, and doing good. I will never swap my family for anything that will rather damage our love for each other and Heavenly Father. The world constantly offers us tricks that make it desirable most of the time, but if we venture into it, it will demolish everything we spent years building. 

As I make my way into the world of entrepreneurship, this case is teaching me a lot. I'm learning that I shouldn't ever put my job before my family and that instead, I should be wise and devoted to both. Integrity is the defining trait.

In the end, we are remembered with this hymn " There is beauty all around when there's Love at Home."
