Guys, give yourself a f*cking break.

I help Dads reclaim 10 hours a week with my Prime Time Protocol by building their priorities, systems and resilience so they can become the man and Dad they want to be. NEWSLETTER BELOW!
Seriously, it is tough at the moment.
I’m feeling it.
I have a 2.5 year old who loves getting into some kind of ceasefire talks every bedtime.
Who kicks off for 30 mins if I don’t put her clips in her hair the right way.
I’m running two businesses at the same time and pushing hard at both.
Putting myself under pressure to drive forward and hit the targets I have made up.
I’m dealing with the Sainsbury’s shop costing £100 for 3 bananas and some milk.
As well as bills and mortgage costs being the highest they have ever been.
Oh and the small factor of another baby coming our way at the end of November.
When my wife is on sh*tty maternity pay for 6 months.
There’s a lot going on.
And I’m sure it’s the same with you.
And I’m all about setting standards and taking action.
I have mine. I’m relentless with them.
But sometimes you need to Zoom out and acknowledge what’s going on.
This is without doubt the time in my life where I have most responsibilities and commitments.
It’s a lot.
So go easy on yourself, if you don’t nail it for a couple of days.
Or you just want to melt and watch Netflix and have a beer one night.
It’s all OK.
Give yourself permission to.
Schedule it in this weekend.
An hour just for you.
And let me know how you get on.
Cheers!
Steve

3 个月Great article Steve. No breakthrough can ever come from judgement and beating ourselves up. Breakthroughs only come from self-love and demand.

31% of small business owners don't expect to see out 2024 in the UK, 40% in the USA. The squeeze is real. And it's on.
