T
he expression “keep your business and
personal life separate” really is just a big
charade that people use to make themselves
feel better about the real world. It’s a bold lie. Stop
telling yourself that the two do not co-exist as one.
As a business owner, I am passionate about what
I have built. I take pride in what I do. I share my
accomplishments and failures with those closest to
me. I mean really, have you ever called your best
friend to chat and then she asks, “how’s work”? To
which you reply, “oh I’m sorry that is my business
life and we are personal friends”. Or when your
significant other comes home and asks how work
was, you tell him/her, “sorry that is not any of your
damn business”.
I’m going to call bullshit. Life just doesn’t work
that way.
Stop denying the fact that both worlds are not
one. It is completely normal to feel pain and hurt
when someone acts cruel and mean in the business
world. Losing a client or business relationship can
hurt just as much as losing a best friend. You both
had a fight and ended the relationship. You put so
