Strut. Now what….How are you balancing Love, Life, family and Business?
Many of us have taken the leap of entrepreneurship with little to no idea that we would be sacrificing so much more of our normal lives. The idea of making our own schedule and being our own boss sold us. Not realizing that other areas of our lives could suffer such as our love and or dating lives, extra circular activities and the burn out.
Love
In our love / dating lives Bae has become our assistant and for some of us our bae’s aren’t equipped for that he’s only good for dates and bae cations he didn’t sign up to be your assistant. And now that your now a full time entrepreneur with little to no time to date you have deadlines to meet and orders to fulfill how do we balance this? Create a system for your work load and respect his desire to only serve you as Bae. It will be a great balance to your life. To do everything together can and will become overwhelming. Continue to love and date based on what your heart desire and not an unpaid assistant.
Life
We all need an off day what is the thing that you love to do schedule a weekly off day that you only do the things that help you create balance in your life, I schedule a bi weekly B.Y.O.T (bring your own towel) at the sauna which allows me to mental dump lose a couple of inches and reflect. As well as a great lunch date with your fellow entrepreneur friend or a friend you haven’t seen in a while.
Family
I’m a mother of 4 and I’ve been an full-time crazy person for 4 years now from being a full-time mom to entrepreneurs my children felt the difference, fewer cooked meals and a lot less time to have fun and do all the traveling and random play dates to making them become a part of the business is surely a great way to push your children away from the fullness of entrepreneurship so schedules a vacation and family time is a must and if you’re working on building a business, please be extremely mindful of their sacrifices as well. They feel it all as well. Your sacrifices are their sacrifices.
Business
What’s the health of your business are you over thinking and under producing? As a creative or entrepreneur we must trust the process and be patient very easy said and not easily done. If your numbers are shifting downward don’t be afraid to reevaluate things and try something new however give it time to notice the difference. Watching water boil it seems like it takes forever do the work and watch it grow. Add to that business quarterly and become the millionaire you are. And don’t forget to strut while you’re doing it.
