Welcome back to another episode of the One Funnel Away: Stories! Today, I’m going to discuss the difference between the Science of Achievement and the Art of Fulfillment.  For a lot of entrepreneurs, achievement becomes a way of life, and in that process, we lose fulfillment and get miserable. Success is great, but if you’re using work to avoid something, then you have a problem.  If you’re in this game for the long haul, you need to learn how to balance professional achievement and personal fulfillment. Both are incredibly important. Science of Achievement is all about the end goal, all about the outcome. When it comes to the Art of Fulfillment, we’re talking about the journey and discovery, about being in the moment.  In this episode, I’m going to discuss how I came to reconcile these two and live a more balanced life.  Get ready because we’re going to dive deep into some serious (and necessary) waters!
