What Would Be Possible If You Finally Put Yourself First?

"Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours per week in order to avoid working 40 hours a week."

Have you seen this quote?

The first time I saw it I could relate. I was working way more hours as an entrepreneur then when I was an employee.

I justified it by telling myself I had the freedom to work the hours I wanted to work instead of someone else telling me when I should work.

I've since learned that long hours may be a short term solution, but is also the fast track to burnout, resentment and not feeling the freedom you wanted when you started your business.

Working all those hours. putting your business above everything else including yourself is a backwards strategy that doesn't work.

One of my mentors told me to take my calendar and schedule the time off I wanted for the next 6 months. Then schedule my daily self care, and after that schedule my work time. (By the way, time-off is not time to catch up on all the work stuff you didn't finish during your designated work hours.)

When he said this I thought "That sounds great, but I can't do that." I get the same reaction from my own clients.

But once they start doing this, they realize how much more effective they are as a business owner and how they start attracting more clients and more money even though they're working less.

When you begin putting yourself and your pleasure first, you send a message to the Universe that you deserve to be happy and to have everything you want. And the Universe reciprocates by giving you what you want without you having to work so hard for it.

So my challenge for you this weekend is to relax, take time off and do something you love doing!
