In this episode, we’re joined by Gino Wickman, a renowned entrepreneur, author, and creator of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). Gino shares his invaluable insights into achieving entrepreneurial success while maintaining balance and avoiding burnout. Drawing from his 30 years of experience, he discusses the importance of finding a personal "magic formula" for work-life balance. Gino emphasizes the delicate equilibrium between pushing yourself hard enough to avoid boredom, but not so hard that you burn out. He highlights the concept of a "work container"—a framework for maximizing energy and output while staying within your capacity for both work and life. Throughout the conversation, Gino offers practical advice on optimizing productivity and maintaining focus, from how to structure your workday to how to adapt your formula over time. He also explores how business owners can scale effectively, noting that, like building a skyscraper, once a business is up and running, it requires less day-to-day effort to maintain. Gino also dives into the importance of systems and delegating effectively to prevent overload. He encourages entrepreneurs to constantly assess their capacity, stay aligned with their values, and make strategic adjustments when necessary, ensuring long-term growth and sustainability in both their personal and professional lives.CHAPTER TITLES03:00 - Impact & Purpose06:00 - Finding Your Formula09:00 - The Work-Life Balance Formula12:00 - Energy and Efficiency15:00 - Shifting Over Time18:00 - The Burnout vs. Boredom Balance21:00 - Work Container and Business Growth24:00 - The Role of Systems in ScalingConnect with Gino Wickman:https://the10disciplines.com/BOOK TITLE - ShineConnect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter

In a 10-year business cycle, this is what typically happens for us as entrepreneurs. We have two great years, two terrible years, and six pretty good years. When you're going through those two really tough years, you feel like it's game over. You're getting your ass kicked. You're getting killed. But just as quickly when you're in the two great years, it doesn't last forever.
And so you just have to stay sharp because the second you think you got it figured out, the universe is going to kick you in the ass and introduce you to the two tough years.

Thank you, Rudy. Thrilled to be here.
Looking forward to hopefully impacting a few lives today. Yeah, so look, everyone listening, they're entrepreneurs. You generally, as an entrepreneur, I feel we are 10 times more caring of personal development, building a dream life, becoming the best version of ourselves, whether it's in our business, whether it's with our ads, whether it's making our product better.
And I think out of everything, you are the most important product yourself, right? So for the audience listening today, what are they going to learn over this podcast? And what's a bit of your background bringing you here?
Yeah, well, I'll flip those two and start with the background that'll lead right into why this topic today. And so my background is that I am obsessed about helping entrepreneurs. So I am one. I'm an entrepreneur who helps entrepreneurs. I've been doing that for 35 years. It's in my blood. And like I said, it's my obsession.
