731. Q&A: Balance & Self-Worth

Welcome back to “Questionably Awesome!” Today, Evans and I answer your questions about proving your worth and finding balance between business and family.

Erin Kennedy asks: “How are you successful in achieving balance? I understand the notion of having to go all in and go hard and I love it, but I have a one-year-old and, now, I feel like I’ve bit off more than I can chew. I need to be there for my family, but I also want to grow this business.”

Keri Lintner asks: “How do I prove the value of my worth to a company or person that doesn’t understand my profession or business ? What are the key-points to share in an elevator pitch?”
