Trying to balance all of the different areas of your life can often leave you feeling like a circus clown spinning plates, forever jumping from one plate to another, trying to keep them all from coming crashing down. And that's the challenge with the pursuit of balance... it's fragile in its nature. But what if balance wasn't the goal? What if instead of spinning plates, the different areas of your life were interconnected like gears, and by focusing on spinning one all others benefited at the same time? In this episode, Joseph breaks down the spinning plates analogy and explains its shortcomings, before suggesting a new way to think about the pursuit of goals in different areas of your life. A short, sharp and value packed episode that will change the way you think about balance in your life.

Your goal is to fill the bucket up. And it’s easy. At least when you first start. All you have to do is focus on pouring more liquid into it. More input, more productivity, more effort. And as it should, the level of liquid in the bucket rises. Until it stops. And then starts dropping. So you focus on pouring more into it. More & more input, more & more productivity, more & more effort. But the level keeps dropping. You keep sliding further & further away from your goal. And then you recognize the real problem. There are holes in the bottom of your bucket. They could be big obvious holes, like your business or personal overhead being too high, or a drop in real productivity for the sake of busyness. But more often than not, they are less obvious, and a result of complacency over time. The daily habits that don’t align with your goals that you have allowed to creep in. In this episode, Joseph Mencel provides practical & strategic advice on how to identify and plug the holes in the bottom of your bucket with regards to your fitness, business, career and relationship goals. Joseph then explores what causes the holes in the first place, and what you can do to prevent future holes from developing. A short episode that you will want to keep saved in your favourites.
