Poor work life balance? The consequences!
Over a quarter of a century of talking to people about their careers allows me to say with certainty that the root cause of most unhappiness at work is the lack of balance between work and family life.
Whilst most employers treat their employees well, some, as a friend of mine once said, "pay us for 8 hours a day, expect us to work for 12 and think they own us for 24 - and that's close to slavery!"
If any of this touches a nerve with you, then it's time to consult your mentor or your mastermind group in order to review your career and find answers to the following questions.
Q1 Where am I in my career?
Q2 Where will I end up if I stay on the same track as at present?
Q3 Is the answer to Q2 really where I want to be?
