For Jim, I think it's easy to look back and say, "Here I am, successful, so all those sacrifices must have been worth it." But for those of us still in the thick of it, it's so hard to know. I think knowing yourself and your goals is what allows you to make the right choices about prioritizing your life. Thanks for adding to this conversation. @ Alisa-

I guess the key is to find a way to balance your priorities. On one hand you want to do well and be successful so you can support yourself and those that depend on you. On the other hand it is such a sacrifice of time and energy to get (your business, job, career, etc.,) where you want it to be and just the very act of doing that will cause you to be less accessible to the very ones you want to help. I am still learning how to find just the right balance. Be well... Wow this is very deep. But I can relate. I guess the key is to find a way to balance your priorities.
