People used to be all about your job being everything - but thankfully the message of work/life balance is finally getting listened to. His daughters ain’t gonna praise his awesome album 20 years from now - they’re gonna remember instead that he was HOME, and PRESENT.

This also might stem from him working blue collar shift work when he was younger, realizing that a job is something you clock in and out of, whether you enjoy it or not. Can’t have a life if all you do is work.
He went home to take care of his girls. My neighbor growing up was one of Hailie's teachers, and she would always talk about how present he was for her at all school events and parent teacher conferences. She was VERY impressed by how much he cared for his daughter - that is something I will never forget and I think EVERYONE should know about him. He is a STAND UP man!
He stop touring & only take stage job around detroit. He even refused to play in a movie coz the setting is outside michigan. Its because he doesn't want to leave home for too long. He wants to take & pick up his kids to/from school everyday... Imagine the chaotic every morning with 3 girls and 1 boy 😂😂🤣
He chose his hours. They just happen to be 9-5. He presented a specific type of environment for his kids. They knew when he would be home everyday. Respect.
It's actually a good mentality to have. Leaving at a height of inspiration without burning yourself out means you're far less likely to get tired of what you do and deplete your creativity. You'll be waiting to come back tomorrow and start your day with the satisfaction of finishing something.
I was surprised I didn't see more comments mentioning how much of a negative impact something like burnout is to a career that involves creative thinking
@@samuelpinder1215 yeah you can, you need to make sure you have sick pay and not be be calling off all the damn time. I go do my job, 9-5, if I'm sick I call out, of my kids sick I call out but I make sure to always do job.
Some might say, “Why not finish the verse, where’s the passion?” But the consistency is the passion. He is strictly dedicated to his craft. He’ll come back and finish every verse he has to instead of randomly deciding to work later because he had an inconsistent start.
Dudes got kids. He's built his life and career so he doesn't have to grind late hours, and instead can focus on the balance of his responsibilities both as an artist, and a father and adult. I respect that.
Its prolly cause he has 3 little girls at home, to take care of, & be present for in their life. Music can wait, especially when you blink & their grown!
That and also its best to not overwork urself considering his been doin it majority of his life before it paid off so once it pays off u can schedule ur workload… and its EMINEM like come on dude. Larry June said same thing he only does music three hours a day
One of the main points on his rehab was "family comes first", work can't take all day otherwise you start losing references and then you end up falling down again. Keeping straight is all about commitment and never lose focus
That's a disciplined man. One who makes rules for himself and sticks to it. Pretty rare in today's world. These kind of people the most successful ones.
How tf you know you’re a fan u don’t know him in real life and he certainly doesn’t know you exist 🙄 dear sweet baby Jesus these fans really think they know these artists because of music and believes every word
As a freelancer videographer, I respect this alot. Putting too many hours in one day will just burn you out in the long run. If you're thinking about the whole picture, consistency is much more important to maintain.
but you have to think about it, when Eminem was hungry I bet you whatever you want he didn't treat music like a 9 to 5 and was doing everything he could to make it
@@dstillRO he went too far with it and ended up in rehab. An adult can easily work more than 40 hours a week if its not a hard physical labor job but what Michael means here is just put every day the work in it and chill/relax so you can do it again the next day and the next day. Working 16 hours is pointless if you can reach the same amount of productivity with 8 hours of work.
As a speedrunner, i felt the same way. It's not about the intensity sometimes, it's about CONSISTENCY. And btw this is such a good habit and also some sort of effective practice
Em has a great work ethic. Despite not needing to work full time he still keeps those hours and heads home to his family. No overtime. There’s always tomorrow.
I feel u but the "always 2maro" applies more 2 wishful thinkin and livin in a perfect 🌏. Ppl who've lost many ppl knows this couldn't be more further from the truth no such thing as always 2maro...
He tries to balance his time and not overwork himself like he did when he was younger so he can have more time with his family. He's actually a great father and person. His music was really just a way for him to vent his anger, pain, and frustrations. He was blessed when he was introduced to Dr Dre but he didn't put it above his family. I'm glad I've always looked up to him when I was younger, I don't regret it at all, especially after watching him and his kids grow up. Great job Em. 🖖
@@CryptocurrencyInsider Casting stones is never a good look. Put your life under veil of transparency and you’ll find something others can criticize you on.
He grew up in Detroit and in poverty so he knows what it is to work. I respect that he starts at 9am and finishes at 5 pm. Also takes an hour lunch break. Good man. Work life balance is a thing and I’m sure he enjoy watching his kids grow and spending time with them.
The explanation was incredible. Em put his family first over the music. That’s proper priorities for a father. It’s one thing when you’re trying to make it, but Em had already made it at that point.
That’s a man who treats his music career like a real job and his time is very valuable…..Result now he’s one of the wealthiest, most popular and biggest rap stars in the world. 👍👍👍👍
It's as a result of his talent tbh, either approach he took would still have the same effect on his music. He's not one the biggest rap stars cus he clocked out at 5
That's because he's not making it more than it has to be . He has a family to care for. I've heard this so many times about Em. It's admiral he's so committed and grounded.
To be fair he's only been doing that since like 2005. Those first few years in the spotlight he worked an absurd amount, especially during the 8 mile/eminem show and shady records year or 2, it's what got him hooked on sleeping pills in the first place. It destroyed him but that's the reason he was untouchable back then.
When he signed the deal, he was working at some diner at the time. He made sure to call in to say that he won't be coming in for his shift. Classy move giving a heads up.
This interview was amazing made me look at him in a completely different view he separates work and life And doesn’t let either one consume the other no matter how much money is making from it
Work/life balance 👍. Early and punctual shows respect for the Work that makes life possible. Not one minute more after 5 shows an appreciation for Life.
At my country 8hr or working is 9-6. Some place 8.30-5.30. 1hr of your lunch break is not included in the 8hr of working. Corporate companies don't' pay for your lunch break time.

I'm listening to Akon talk about Eminem all I heard was a person that has structure and discipline that's it and that's all nothing else to talk about business
Went to the comments to be like “yea he did that for his kids, no doubt” and then I read someone say in the comments that “in the the rest of the interview, Akon says it was because of Em’s kids.” Makes perfect sense. Wakes up, takes them to school, eats lunch, probably has someone pick the kids up, home for dinner, bath time, bed time, wake up, breakfast with family, repeat. Eminem is a true family man and showed every rapper, fan, anyone he could, that he will always be a father first. People usually either become or avoid being like the parent they dislike or like the most. I’m glad he did the right thing and avoided being an absent father in his children’s lives.
Set those boundaries to keep work from following you home. I imagine that's common for some creative types. Fresh perspective the next day, maybe he decides to change or scrap his verse cause he wasn't feeling it after he had stepped away.
Makes sense. Em worked 9-5s and shitty jobs for years before he made it big. Plus he's got kids, he's wrote plenty of songs talking about how much they mean to him. Sounds to me like he's found and kept that perfect work-life balance lol.
The thing about leaving a task undone and returning to complete it later, like em clocking out at 5pm and coming back at 9 am, is that within those hours, you can always find a way to make it better than if you rushed it and tried to finish it in one shot.

Everybody who grinds to hard always crashes, whether it’s a month, 2 months, 6 months you eventually crash. Something I’m learning as life goes on
He also raised his daughter, and 2 others. Probably spent time with them as well.
didn’t he also raise his brother Nathan alongside his daughters?
Workin' 9-5!
Awesome collaboration
Makes sense. Em worked 9-5s and shitty jobs for years before he made it big. Plus he's got kids, he's wrote plenty of songs talking about how much they mean to him. Sounds to me like he's found and kept that perfect work-life balance lol.
If you go listen to his 25 to life on the recovery album then you will know why he works this way.
That's still one of my favorite Eminem tracks.
Consistentency and persistence are great driving forces behind success
You can leave the 9-5 but the 9-5 don't leave you
Yea I’ll be back at 9am Bruh I’m Dead 😂
When you're a good dad.. You got to get home to your kids early.
It's about his attitude, IN & OUT 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 💖
The thing about leaving a task undone and returning to complete it later, like em clocking out at 5pm and coming back at 9 am, is that within those hours, you can always find a way to make it better than if you rushed it and tried to finish it in one shot.
