Struggle - I recently said that one of my entrepreneur friends. In the past few years, he has started three businesses - budding entrepreneurs. He is the joy he experienced in these enterprises: the potential of the sense of freedom from the corporate world to pursue their dreams and passion, set your own schedule, and control their own destiny and economic returns.
However, he mentioned some disadvantages: almost no outside accountability, the lack of consistent capital, loneliness, without a stable revenue stream, feeling from someone who does not understand his successful drive is disconnected, the constant struggle, survival, and a serious lack of work life balance. Sound familiar?
I think most entrepreneurs struggle with similar problems, especially the balance. They can give their lack of life balance and satisfaction reasons are many: "I have too much work to do, I just need a few hours to complete this project, I need more money I have bills to pay, my business depends on my hard work, my family needs more income I am solely responsible for the development, marketing, sales and service my product or service. "
Any or all of these reasons may be true, which may lead to finding great difficulties in the entrepreneurs of the two management - a balanced and successful entrepreneurs. How often do you struggle to work longer hours than you know you should try and ensure that future sales? How many times your family and friends trying to pull you away from your office this last month? Some time and you have the actual number of hours spent this last week or a month's work up to. There is always the temptation to do a little more than a little difficult to talk to want to make more sales to more potential customers.
What are you doing anything specific to take good care of yourself: physically, emotionally, and spiritually? Many entrepreneurs neglect these important areas of life, in search of professional success, but these areas lead to the potential of creative thinking, leading entrepreneurs like you to change the life of products and services, find you a new perspective, outside venture .
Evaluate your
Take the time to write these eight areas of life:
Ø friends and family
Ø fun and entertainment
O the physical environment and home
Ø a romantic significant other
Ø Fitness and Health
Ø career
Ø Financial
○ personal spiritual growth
Next, the area to assess your current. 1-7 1 "completely dissatisfied" and 7 "completely satisfied" sign, you are satisfied, the scale in each region. Further reading, add up all the sum of the eight areas. The goal is the end of this article.
Develop a plan
As you look at your satisfaction you see what pattern or theme of the current level? Where areas are you most dissatisfied with? The most impressive?
You admit that, here are five simple steps to help you get started looking for work and life balance, leading to successful change is to:
A. Select a district, you are not satisfied and want to see some immediate improvement in This should not be your worst or best scoring area, but somewhere in the middle. Spend two minutes, and written in detail what kind of balance will find you like in this regard.
Two. Now, take out your plan and make to explain their one week from today. In the notes, wrote:
O area, you want to improve your level of satisfaction
○ "score" Where are you now, in the next week and you want to be the "score"
O 2 things, you have to do this next week towards that goal
3. Tell others your goals, and they hold you responsible for - whether a friend, mentor, or coach. It's easy to make the new year, a new commitment to yourself, but more difficult to follow unless you know someone to hold you responsible for in order to achieve their goals.
4. Set up a time and accountability partners to talk about next week. You achieve your goal? If not, what makes you reach it, what would you do anything different next week to talk about. If you do not achieve their goal, congratulate yourself. Do some simple celebration of your achievements.
5 The final step is to return to Step 1 to do it again.
To create life balance is not easy, it is never complete. There is always room for improvement. The point is that you can make your life more balanced, to take small steps in the right direction. The most valuable things in life, to create life balance is a process not an event!
Total scores ranged
8 - 16, wow! Things must be pretty rough now.
Many small business owners an average score of 17 - 30
30 - 45 in your life are very satisfied and very dissatisfied with
45 - 56 you know the importance of life balance and success in life
