Will.i.am believes in dream-reality balance rather than work-life balance
Multimillionaire musician and tech entrepreneur Will.i.am advises young people to prioritize dream-reality balance over work-life balance to achieve success. He works from 9 am to 5 pm on his tech venture and then continues working on his creative
business until 9 pm. Will.i.am believes that focusing on bringing a new business venture to reality requires sacrifices and dedication. He encourages young individuals to redefine their current reality and work towards materializing their dreams.
“If you’re trying to build something that doesn’t exist, it’s about dream-reality balance,” Will.i.am told the publication. “Work-life balance means that you’re working for somebody else’s dream. You just have a job supporting somebody else’s dream, and you want to balance your work and your life. But if it’s dream-reality balance, then it’s not work. It’s a dream that you’re trying to put into reality, and you’re ignoring your current reality.
He also added, “I’m not really paying attention to this reality,” he told Fortune. “I’m trying to bring that one [a new business venture or idea] here and focusing on how do I get people who believe in this dream to help me materialise it? So for that, you have to make some type of sacrifice to bring this thing that doesn’t exist here.”
The rapper said that he did not even take time off for his birthday which was on March 15.
