344 - Life/Work Balance (running a web agency without sacrificing your family) with Oscar Quesada

Web Design Business with Josh Hall

You’ve heard of work/life balance…but what about life/work balance?
What if, instead of prioritizing our work and living life around that, we set our calendars, schedules, and weekly routines to have our work revolve around our ideal week?
As freedom based lifestyle web designers, that’s exactly the option we have available to us
But it takes a proactive approach to make this happen, otherwise calls, meetings, design and troubleshooting will take up our entire week.
So, to help dig in on how to do this practically, I can’t think of anyone better to learn from than Oscar, the CEO of Lifedge who’s at the forefront of this life/work balance movement.
Covered in the episode:

• How to set boundaries between family and work while working from home
• How to turn your “business mind” off after hours
• How to make it work when your spouse is in business with you
• The game-changing practice of a “look ahead” weekly meeting with your spouse or family
• The seasonal approach to hustle

Personally, I love these types of conversations because, as someone who loves my work and who likes to work, I constantly need to be prompted and reminded to make sure I’m not out of balance with my wife and family.
A healthy approach to balancing work and family = doing this sustainably without burning out.
