What exactly are you shooting for in your life?

Is it to just make more money?

Or is it the pursuit of balance between your personal success and your personal life?

Career success as a sales manager is very important, but if you dont have the work-life balance, its awfully empty in the end…

Enclosed is the podcast summary from Brad and Jerry of Salesmanagement20.com:

We are very excited about this episode!  We got to catch up with best-selling author Marc Warnke to discuss his new book ONO: Options Not Obligations.  Marc is the Founder of the Family First Entrepreneur movement, an effort to bring entrepreneurs back in touch with the most important people in their lives: their kids!

Marc offers great advice for entrepreneurs and selling professionals who want to spend more time nurturing their relationships and less time at work.  Marc is teaching business people how to enrich their personal lives by rethinking their financial lives and attain a proper work-life balance. Ono is Hawaiian for delicious, and in his book Marc will show you how to have a truly delicious life.

Marc reminded us that parents only have 936 weeks with their children from the day they’re born until they leave the nest. How many of those weeks will you spend with your kids? According to Marc, that depends not on how much money you make, but how much you save and invest.

If you’re ready to have ONO in your life, you need to rethink the way you approach you business life.  How much money do you need to make in order to sustain the lifestyle you desire to live?  Marc encourages all of us to take a second look and see if there is anything we’re spending money on that we can live without.  If we can learn thriftiness, we can shave years off our ONO timeline.

The bottom line is this: whether your desire is to sail around the world with your kids or travel the countryside speaking in front of audiences, you’re going to need money.  Marc will help you find the amount you truly need to make and how to get yourself on the path to a life of ONO: Options, Not Obligations.

Enjoy this episode; it’s one that can truly change your life.  Please share it with your friends and associates, and leave me a comment in the comments section below.  This is a bit of a departure for us here at SMM, so I’d love to hear what you have to say!
