Make Time For You and Improve Your Business
What if you could focus your energies by doing less? What if you could play a little and not feel guilty? What if all work and no play really does make Jack a dull boy?
Most online businesses start with a great amount of struggle. Most entrepreneurs understand it is often the proverbial sweat of their brow that is required if success is going to happen. There is an understanding that networking must take place, but that is often rivaled by the notion that there is a strong need to be self-reliant.
What happens, however, is the brow sweat turns into a raging river as the business owner essentially operates in a place that is often devoid of life enjoyment.
There is obviously a concerted effort to breathe life into an idea, but at some point you need to rescue your own life from slavery to the idea.
Think about all the time you spend just answering emails, the phone or questions from associates. What if you channel all of your activities to constraints in time? For example, what if you set aside very specific times you look at and respond to emails and refuse to look at emails at other times of the day. From personal experience I know emails can eat up the bulk of my day.
What if I wanted to get to the gym or read a book that will help me in business? What if I wanted to take a walk or watch a webinar? What if I wanted to have a social life apart from my business?
The truth is I can and do. So can you.
We can all make time for what we really want to do. If we have a favorite show on television we will watch it. If we really want to know what's going on in the world we will intentionally pay attention to the news.
For some strange reason when it comes to business we often believe there is no relief from the relentless tyrant known as "Urgency".
When you compartmentalize your schedule you will find you may have more time to do life-enhancing events that may be disassociated with your business.
By participating in life it is as if the spigot opens up to refill your passion for what you are trying to accomplish in business.
The reality is by enjoying life you can improve your business.
The 'struggle' of business can be made less difficult by stepping away from the struggle for a period of time. By consistently facing the struggle you can no longer see how to get around the barriers you face. It's the old, "can't see the forest for all the trees' idea. Back up and take a look. Once you see clearly where to go, step around the barrier and move on.
If you don't take time away for you there will come a melting point where you will either need to take time away involuntarily or you find yourself emotionally incapable of continuing because the candle that has been burning at both ends has finally met in the middle and the flame is extinguished.
Take time for you. Consider it an investment in your company.
