What Even Counts as Work Anymore?

As I sit here with my coffee in my robe, I ask myself…what is work and what is not?

I just responded to a member comment asking when the Deck Analyses from the summit submissions will go live. My answer was simple: my son graduated from high school on Friday and I’m taking the weekend off for family.

And yet…here I am posting on Skool. 😂

Is that work?

Not for me.

One of my favorite daily actions is talking with you all. The social, community building posts are my bread and butter. I genuinely thrive on the relationships and interaction here. In many ways, I mirror real life here, just in a business setting with all of you.

There are parts of entrepreneurship that drain me and parts that energize me. That distinction matters more than “hours worked” honestly.

For me, this part feels like connection, creativity, and contribution. It fills me up instead of emptying me out.

I think that’s part of building income without burnout too. Designing a business where at least some of the “work” feels like life giving play.

So now I’m curious…

What part of your work does not really feel like work to you?
