The Balanced Breakthrough: Winning at Work Without Losing at Life - Hardcover

by Garrett Maroon (Author)

The breakthrough you're chasing isn't about more hustle--it's about finally finding balance that lasts.

Are you winning at work but losing at life?

Garrett Maroon was. From the outside, he had it all--a top-performing real estate team, industry accolades, and a calendar packed with closings. But behind the scenes? Eighty-hour weeks, mounting pressure, and burnout that could have cost him his marriage, health, and faith.

Then one day, Garrett asked himself the question that changed everything: "What's the point of success if the people I love most aren't in it with me?"

In that moment, he realized he was building a business but neglecting his home--and it wasn't worth the cost. That painful clarity became the catalyst for everything that came next.

The Balanced Breakthrough is your invitation to rewrite the rules of success. In these pages, Garrett opens up about the toll of hustle culture and how he chose a different path--one that honors God, family, and a sustainable business model.

Inside, you'll discover:

• How to create your own definition of success-- one rooted in purpose, not pressure.
• The PDA Formula: Build a Predictable, Dollar-productive, and Aligned business that serves your life.
• Proven strategies to reclaim your time, protect your peace, and lead with integrity.
• A roadmap to more income, greater impact, and lasting joy--without losing what matters most.

Whether you're an ambitious entrepreneur, a weary professional, or a real estate agent chasing balance, this book will show you how to stop surviving and start thriving--in business and in life.

You don't have to burn out to stand out.

You just need to redefine the win.
