Making time for work and life

The Successful Living Show

Today I want to talk to you about the time we dedicate to work and life, fun and business that is essential for our well-being. It is important to make time for downtime. Do not work yourself to death. I have become intentional about monitoring how I spend my time. The whole point of this is that we have to be aware of how we are managing our business and so many times the problems that we have also come down to how we are managing the processes and systems to run our business. Are we really productive? We can be working sixteen hours a day or more and not be productive. We can be busy, but that busyness is not generating revenue for us, not getting something done that is critical that may end up tying you up another day or forcing you to say no to something that you would love to do with your family because you did not do things when you needed to do them because you didn't plan them accordingly or you do not have a process in place to manage all the things you have to do. As a business consultant I know this happens quite often when I speak to my small business owners. I find they are not using certain applications to automate a lot of things. There are a lot of ways that we can automate. The more you learn the better it gets. We cannot automate everything, but we can automate a lot. It is a matter of looking at everything we do. Please find the time to do the things that matter to you. Spend time with friends and family. Make time for yourself. Make time to relax. To do the things you love to do. Look at your business and evaluate your productivity leaks. What are you doing that may be causing you to not have the time you desire? This is a bit of rambling, but It is because I wanted to share how I am feeling about this whole thing. This podcast is about really sharing the real life, everyday entrepreneurship, the great and the in between and how we are doing all this.

In the next few weeks I will have some really cool interviews with people that can contribute to these things that I am always talking about because I really believe that being aware of who we are and how we can control our world internally which then helps us control our external world. We cannot control what happens outside of us but we can control how we respond to it. Really trying to bring you as much as I can to help you as an entrepreneur so we can all live a more successful life. Thank you for listening.
