Finding Your Non-Negotiable for Health Work-Life Balance with Terry Toh
Streamlined Solopreneur: Tips to Help Busy Solopreneurs Trade Stress for Freedom - Podcast tekijän mukaan Joe Casabona — Systems and Automations Coach - Maanantaisin
Recently my friend Justin asked on X, “How do you define success?” I said, “Can I knock off for a day at will to spend time with my family?”
The world constantly tells us we need to hustle to be successful – but that can’t be true. If you’re a parent, for example, hustle is just not an option.
That’s why I’ve brought on Terry Toh. Terry helps business owners successfully run their side business while maintaining a full-time job. But as you’ll see, much of what he has to say can apply to busy solopreneur who may have other obligations – like family, volunteer work, or other interests outside of work.
It’s all about finding your non-negotiable.

Top Takeaways

- Identify your single top priority and 2-3 key non-negotiables at any given time. Intentionally make progress on these each day before moving on to less critical tasks.
- Watch for personal signs that you're doing too much and nearing burnout, such as revenge bedtime procrastination or being irritable with your kids. Build in breaks and support.
