How to bring back the balance in your business and the passion in your life.
Do you remember when you first started your business, how energetic and optimistic you were? You were busy enjoying your work and your life.
Then somewhere along the way, routine and reality set in and your business kept demanding more and more of you. To cope, maybe you put relationships, hobbies, friends and your health on hold.
Do you want your business to thrive and excel without it consuming all your time and energy? Would you like to have more time for the important people in your life (including yourself)? It is possible to run a successful business while enjoying life to the fullest.
It starts with strategically re-thinking and prioritizing what's important in your life. It's a fact that there is not enough time in the day to do everything that you'd like to do.
In order to both run a successful business AND have a complete life, you need to tackle this challenge from two fronts:
1. In business - Allocate your time and run your business as efficiently as possible, and 2. In life - Build and maintain your "non-business" relationships, interests and other areas that create meaning, zest and fun!
Many of the business activities on your plate can be delegated or outsourced to free up your time. It's true, they may not get done as well as you do them, but does everything have to be completed in your style? Maybe letting go a little can free up your time for more important activities...
Some items are strategically important and need to be handled by you. Oftentimes, a bit of re-think will help you deal with these tasks in a more expedient fashion than today. E.g. how are you on time management? Prioritizing? Are you up to date on technology that can cut your workflow?
Then there are the activities that with a little innovation you can stop doing altogether - the true time wasters. Find them and delete them!
Here's a vital key to entrepreneurial success: When creating more meaning in your personal life, your business becomes more successful as well. This is an area where there's no trade off - you CAN both eat your cake and have it too!
