I\u2019ve got news for you: if you\u2019re digging an ambitious goal of building a hugely successful business and brand, it won\u2019t always be possible to achieve the perfect balance between work and life, hustle and rest. Most founders would agree that running a business is like a series of sprints and cool downs\u2026 you\u2019re constantly exhausted, running at peak intensity, putting out fires\u2026 and then there are the rare quiet periods or \u2018lulls\u2019 where you can finally catch a breath.\xa0\nIn fact, some may even say that \u2018balance\u2019 can\u2019t possibly exist during the first few years of entrepreneurship!\nNicole Gibbons, the founder of next generation paint brand Clare, has experienced them all\u2026 from peak productivity to burnout; from constantly having to make difficult tradeoffs to leaning into what this season of life is bringing her.\xa0\nIn our conversation, Nicole is sharing her perspective on why she believes balance is a myth (and why that\u2019s okay), plus her tactic of \u201crebalancing\u201d on a regular basis in order to thrive during those intense times and the reality of what it\u2019s really like to be funded by venture capital. It\u2019s such a treat to get to chat with her about the ebbs and flows of business, different seasons of life, different styles of entrepreneurship and how it all affects our lives.\n\nGOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/\nGOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/\nGOAL DIGGER SHOW NOTES: https://www.jennakutcherblog.com/nicolegibbons\xa0\n\nLISTEN TO THE THIS IS SMALL BUSINESS PODCAST: https://www.smallbusiness.amazon/podcasts\xa0\nTHIS PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY BETTERHELP.
