I've found that too many entrepreneurs get so wrapped up in their businesses, and forget to take care of the other aspects of their lives. (Stop & think, how many overweight entrepreneurs do you know? ) When you focus too much on your business a lot of negative effects result. Families are neglected, friends are lost, and the physical and mental health of the small business owner declines. (Just to name a few.)
So here are some tips for being able to successfully manage your business & your life:
- Automate your business- I love business automation! It's the best kept secret in the business world. Too many entrepreneurs I work with aren't automating. They are doing everything manually. You've got to stop this! When you put your business on auto-pilot you have more time for other things.
- Put systems into place. If you repeatedly do something the same way, you'll make few mistakes. In other words, it becomes a habit. Write a list of everything that you do. Figure out a process for everything you do. Then follow it religiously.
- Be More educated. Working smarter could mean working less. Spend time taking classes & reading books about your industry. You will learn tips on how to be more effective. Click here to view useful educational products.
- Take time for you. Believe it or not, taking a day off can add to your productivity. Your health improve, your personal life will be happier and you'll be more focused when working.
- Go home- set a time schedule for yourself. Schedule the number of hours you will work and stick to that plan.
- Set your priorities- Every day, create a task list & prioritize the list. Do your most important products first. One word of advice, be sure sure to add time with friends and family as a top priority.
One final thought, remember; nobody ever lay on their deathbed wishing they had spent more time at the office!
