You?ve probably heard the saying that no one puts on their headstone, I wish I had worked harder. Having (and keeping) life?s priorities straight is easier said than done, especially when you are working incredibly long days with no end in sight. Toilets, wildfires, appliance breakages, and natural disasters never take a day off?so neither do you.
You had good intentions when you became a business owner. Most likely you bought or started your business hoping to hire the right people to help you so that you would have more time for the things that matter to you? maybe it?s seeing your children grow up and/or spending time with your spouse and taking the occasional break to recoup.
Instead, you are so busy in your business that you can?t catch your breath, let alone find good people who can help you build and successfully run your business. Your kids, or their kids, are getting bigger by the minute and one day, in the not-so-distant future, they?ll be off to college and you will have missed milestones and years that you?ll never get back. You can?t remember the last time you had the energy to have a conversation with your spouse that wasn?t about the business, and there?s no way to take a vacation because you can?t be gone even one day from your business.
This is not what you signed up for. The very things that inspired you to be your own boss are passing you by. Something?s got to give?or you will be the absentee parent or grandparent, exhausted spouse, getting older? and you will NEVER get to retire.
What can you do to juggle all the demands of work and life? First, you must evaluate where and how your time is spent. This can be a real eye-opener to seeing just how much time you are giving to the various areas of your life. Here is a simple exercise to help you determine how you are balancing it all.
