Case in point:\u00a0 Which side of the teeter totter do you assume is the &#8220;work&#8221; and which is the &#8220;life.&#8221;\u00a0 Work is life, life is work.\u00a0 Human beings were meant to work hard, build things, and enjoy serving others.\u00a0 Personally, I love my work, and I&#8217;m proud that my children have seen me enjoy working hard.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward, we are encouraging people to build their life philosophy around Seven Fs: faith, family, finances, fitness, friends, fun and future.\u00a0 These are things that really matter, and when we intentionally plan our time around blending several Fs together, we can leap ahead in our happiness. \u00a0 Use the reply form below and tell me what you think of this concept, I&#8217;d like to know.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what one person said about our book on an Amazon.com review: <em>When Paul Batz first mentioned the Seven Fs (Faith, Family, Finances,  Fitness, Friends, Fun, Future) at breakfast about a year ago, I  immediately sensed an appealing mnemonic with intuitive face value.  These Seven Fs are memorable and practical words.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What I like even better is the approach the co-authors took in  writing this book. Rather than quote famous people or focus on personal  opinion, the authors conducted extensive social research to discover the  Success Habits of accomplished professionals. They have collected  thousands of Success Habits through online surveys and personal  interviews. The book shares &#8220;best of&#8221; Success Habits. You can also give  and receive Success Habits for free @ sevenfs-dot-com.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Good leaders recognize the importance of blending the Seven Fs. They strive to have fun in every endeavor \u2013 at home or at work \u2013 and they understand how Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, Friends, Fun and Future are all interconnected in any successful, sustainable enterprise.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1157\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1157\" style=\"width: 146px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a style=\"font-weight: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/goodleadership.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/7fs.3Dbookcover-1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1157\" title=\"7fs.3Dbookcover\" src=\"https:\/\/goodleadership.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/7fs.3Dbookcover-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"166\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our signature book: available now<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Check us out the book at www.sevenfs.com <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t believe in the notion of work\/life balance.&#8221;\u00a0 This the first sentence of our signature book:\u00a0 What Really Works: Blending the Seven Fs to Live the Life You Imagine.\u00a0 Co-author Tim Schmidt and I came together around the concept of &#8220;blending.&#8221;\u00a0 Just like this picture, we found the stress of trying to balance our [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-leadership"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What&#039;s wrong with this picture?
