Work / Life: Design a Business for the Life You Want

The acclaimed author of Minimalista offers an entrepreneurial roadmap for building—and sustaining—a deeply satisfying, purpose-driven small business that leverages your unique talents while creating more freedom, ease, and focus.

With a desire for financial freedom, creative fulfillment, and meaningful purpose, home organizing expert, speaker, and business strategist Shira Gill built a thriving, globally recognized business from the ground up—and now she shares the practical wisdom behind it. Work/Life is her strategic yet accessible guide to creating a small business that supports the life you want, on your own terms.

You’ll learn how to focus your energy, simplify decision-making, and build systems that support both creativity and consistency. Rather than defaulting to hustle culture and risking burnout, Work/Life offers a more grounded approach: one that honors real life, shifting seasons, and limited time and energy. It’s about building something meaningful without losing yourself in the process.

With a clean, elevated design and inspirational guidance, Work/Life blends the beauty of a lifestyle book with the substance and practicality of a business manual. Inside you’ll find checklists, prompts, action steps, and real-world examples designed to make the work feel both doable and aligned. Whether you’re just starting out, evolving an existing venture, or reimagining what success looks like, Work/Life gives you the tools to build a business—and a life—you’re proud of.
