Gabby: "Este, and many of you have asked how do you approach the work-life balance? Is it better to spend more time on work, more time on family?

I want to emphasize that you can have, uh, the most of both. I found in life that when faced with the problem of two things that seem mutually exclusive, if I was smart enough, I could get 75 percent of each.

The key is to get more out of a day. If you can get more out of a day by leveraging yourself in a number of ways, you will get more life into a day.

So rather than thinking I have to give up family or I have to give up, uh, the work thing, you could think—be clever. Think about how to combine them.

Like in my case, I would, you know, bring my kids through business work and, or I would also think about how I could get leverage from others and work.

So the key is increasing your efficiency in your capacity to put more life into life. Then you can get more work, and you can get more, um, my family life balance.

So squeeze more in by understanding how to do that. I've covered a lot of that in the book. I can't cover it all here."
