Do you ever wish you didn’t have to work so hard? Or so long?

I did A lot! And so do many of the women business owners I speak to.

Turns out we’re great at keeping on keeping on.

And round and round we go like the mouse on the wheel.

Why do we do it?

For me and for many others, it’s because we never feel like we’ve made enough progress. We always think we should have done more, been more, earned more, made more sales, etc etc etc. that list could just keep going on for ever, right?

And we wind up in a place where we’re working all the time and have no life apart from our work.

Business and work consume our life. Our kids miss out. Our husbands or partners miss out. Our family misses out. Our friends miss out.

WE MISS OUT. WE MISS OUT ON LIFE!!!!

Does it help? It sure never helped me.

Here’s how it plays out … We become our worst boss ever. We treat ourselves in a way we wouldn’t ever treat anyone else.

Here’s the truth I came to realise. And it took me a very long time to be totally honest.

The way to achieve more is to work less.

The way to achieve more is to care for yourself FIRST. YES, I know that’s hard for you to hear. We women are so used to caring for everyone else first that we forget to look after ourself. We need to become our first priority. YOU NEED TO BECOME YOUR FIRST PRIORITY.
