Alexandria, VA - September 8, 2025 - Financial adviser Simon M. Joseph, with more than sixteen years of experience in wealth management, is raising awareness about the importance of balance between career, family, and community. Drawing on his journey from collegiate lacrosse to finance, Joseph is encouraging professionals to focus not only on career advancement but also on discipline, family presence, and community involvement.
“The market never stops moving, but children don’t care about that,” Joseph said. “They care about whether you’re present. That perspective shapes how I approach everything.”
Why It Matters
A 2022 Deloitte study found that 77% of professionals report burnout at their current jobs, and nearly 70% of working parents struggle to balance career and family life. At the same time, research from the National Council on Volunteering shows that people engaged in community service report 29% higher life satisfaction than those who are not.
Joseph believes the lesson is clear. “Success isn’t just about professional awards or recognition. It’s about how you show up for your family and your community. Without that balance, work loses its meaning.”
Practical Actions People Can Take
Joseph emphasises that balance is achievable through simple, consistent steps:
-
Protect family time: Set aside parts of the week that are non-negotiable.
-
Stay disciplined: Apply lessons from sport or routine to structure your work and life.
-
Get involved locally: Volunteer at a food drive, coach a youth team, or support your local church.
-
Be patient with growth: Careers take time—focus on steady progress rather than quick wins.
“You don’t need to overhaul your life in a day,” Joseph said. “Start small. Read with your kids. Join one local project. Those steps create habits, and habits create balance.”
Call to Action
Joseph is calling on professionals to reframe how they define success. “True success is built on three things: discipline, family, and community,” he explained. “If you focus on all three, you’ll not only grow in your career—you’ll also build a life you’re proud of.”
