How can you achieve a successful exit in your business without selling your soul or burning out until you're barely more than a burnt crisp? I'm excited to chat with Adii Pienaar, a successful entrepreneur who has founded multiple companies, including WooThemes and WooCommerce, and is currently working on a new venture called Cogsy. He's also the author of the Life Profitably book and hosts the Life Profitably podcast, and through the rollercoaster ride of his entrepreneurial journey, he has learned some valuable lessons that he shares today.

Listen in as Adii shares his approach to balancing life and business, his experiences of burnout, and the ups and downs of his entrepreneurial journey, including leaving WooCommerce. We also discuss finding balance as a tightrope act—where you invest deeply in your business while also investing in other areas of your life—and Adii shares his motivation for continuing despite the fear of failure.
