Synopsis
Dr. Misner’s secret to creating balance in your life is this: “Forget about balance. You’ll never have it.”
The good news is that harmony in your life is possible. “Balance” assumes equal time on everything that’s important. Harmony is not balanced, but it’s complete as a whole.
Here are some keys to a life that’s in harmony.
- Be Here Now
- Set time aside for the things that really matter.
- Find ways to integrate different parts of your life
- When you’re 70 years old, you’re not going to wish you spent more time at the office
Harmony is created where harmony is sought. What do you do to create harmony in your life? Leave a comment and let us know.

Synopsis
This week Dr. Misner addresses a question a BNI member asked him: “What do you do stay on track?” Ivan sums his formula for success up in these quotable phrases:
- Success is the uncommon application of common knowledge. (For example, Ivan Misner did not create networking; he focused it.)
- Diplomacy is the art of letting someone else have your way.
- What you do thunders above your head so loudly I cannot hear you speak.
- You may not be able to make a world of difference, but you can make a difference in the world.
Don’t forget the search function on this podcast site. Enter a search term into the search box at the top, and you’ll see every episode where Dr. Misner has addressed that subject.

Synopsis
Today’s podcast is based on a blog post Dr. Misner wrote this summer. As business professionals, we need to make sure we take time to notwork, not just time to network. Dr. Misner spends three or four weeks every year at his lodge in Big Bear with his family because he believes success is about having time to spend in a place you love with people you love.
But if you’re looking for balance and you own a business, forget about it. Strive for harmony instead of balance. Remember the phrase Be Here Now.
