10 Business Truths That Matter

 

We've now reviewed 8 of 10 Business Truths That Matter.  Those goal minded business professionals who utilize these truths can position their business for a more successful return on the investment of time and money.  

This week we're looking at #9:  

9)  Develop great work/life balance. All work and no play or all play and no work will surely deplete the energy from even the most positive and ambitious individual.  Work/life balance is the dynamic relationship between achievement, fulfillment, and the factors that influence our choices and decisions in these two areas. It looks different for everyone. You must diligently strive to find that “balance” point. In doing so, you must decide what achievement and fulfillment look like in your life. If you do not make balance a priority in your life, the negative influences will creep in and slowly dominate your life mission. Imbalance can have an adverse consequence on your health by its impact in such areas as stress, poor diet and poor sleeping habits. It can also quickly dilute your personality and put you at odds with family, friends and colleagues.  

In our fast paced world, it is easy to shift priorities and take a more focused approach to grabbing the “golden rings” that work can provide. The sad part about this is that it may be great for your business but it will be bad for you personally. Work/life balance demands effort and paying attention to your personal life. It may feel uncomfortable to attempt changes at first, especially if you are a Type A personality.  However you must look beyond what you want to achieve and how you perceive fulfillment and address the factors that are minimizing your ability to gain the balance you need. Once you gain awareness of the negative influences that impact your work/life balance stability, you are one step closer to gaining control of your life and career.

Here are a few good questions to consider:

  • What are you committed to do in order to better address your work/life balance situation?
  • How can you better manage your time to allow yourself the right to take time off but also meet the demands of your career?
  • What must I be prepared to battle in my desire to gain more balance in my life?
  • What is a good “first step” for me to take?

If work/life balance were easy, everyone would have it. It may seem elusive but it is attainable. By understanding what is truly important in your life as well as the sequence it should follow; and, by you utilizing the proper allocation of time and energy to attain those important goals, you will find the balance you need to live the life and enjoy the career you desire.

Begin today to utilize these Business Truths in your endeavors. They will enable you to better achieve the results you seek IF you will put their messages into action. 

Next week, I'll reveal the final truth...

Leadership is more than a title or position. It is a way of life. By choice or default, everyone leads.

How often do you feel you are leading 
your life or career with intention?

How do you know that you are having an 
impactful influence in your role of leadership? 

How do you feel those you lead or those 
you interact with view you as a leader? 

How would you benefit should you be able to 
clearly know the answers to the questions? 

There is a very unique form of leadership known as Energy Leadership that helps you interrupt your leadership presence and better use your 7 distinct levels of energy for more effective results.

The Energy Leadership™ Assessment will provide the insight for you to discover the avenues to increase in financial success; leadership ability; greater engagement and excitement in your career; increase in productivity; improvement in time management; and, greater satisfaction in work-life balance.

Special Offer 

 So let me ask you a question, 

“Have you ever held back from doing something because it was too risky?”

We probably all have done that at one time or another.

Taking a chance usually means we have something to lose,
and many of us shy away from losing.
Let’s face it, no one wants to lose. 

Still, taking chances is an integral part of life, 
and if we want our lives to change for the better, 
we have to become more aware of what we are willing and not willing to risk.

I have a special offer for you this month.
