Building a business
is a marathon.
It’s not a sprint.
It takes years.
And it takes energy
from us, the business builders.
If you’ve been pushing yourself
to achieve a certain task
and you accomplish
that feat,
you are AWESOME.
Reward yourself
with a short break.
Take a day or two
to
sleep.
Socialize.
Laugh.
Relax.
Power yourself up
to achieve
that next key step.
Reward yourself
with short breaks.
The holiday season
can be hectic.
It can overwhelm
many business builders.
When I’m overwhelmed,
I focus
on one thing.
I focus on one task,
one customer,
one project.
When that one thing is tackled,
I celebrate that win.
I then tackle
the next task,
the next customer,
the next project.
Until I feel capable
of tackling multiple issues
at once.
Getting sh*t done,
even if it is one small thing,
calms me.
That win
rebuilds my confidence.
Which allows me to
tackle other sh*t.
Focus on one.
We’re business builders.
We have a lot to do
and tend to work
7 days a week
attempting to get it done.
I understand that.
I live that life.
But I also understand
that unexpected things come up
during the week,
things we have to put
other tasks aside for
and tackle.
If we create a schedule
that has us working
7 days a week,
we won’t ever have time
to complete those set aside tasks.
We’ll fall further and further behind
and we’ll end up
missing critical deadlines.
That is why
I don’t schedule anything
on the weekends.
The weekends are spent
catching up on tasks.
They are used
to put me back on track.
If a miracle happens
and I AM on track,
I take time off
to recharge
and power up
for the upcoming week.
Don’t schedule work
7 days a week.
Give yourself time
to catch up on tasks.
