HOW NOT TO BE WORN OUT BY THE WEEKEND

It’s so easy to get frustrated ?? and become burned out. As married entrepreneurs we’re uniquely exposed to OVERWHELM. 

Balancing the business ?? and the marriage?? requires an agreed upon objective. A common goal.

While juggling schedules??, date nights??, product launches??, marketing and coming up with compelling copy that resonates with our target clients-it’s A LOT!

Some of us eagerly look to the weekend and can’t wait for some form of a sabbath. 

You’ve heard us say this before that if one is called to entrepreneurship the entire family is called to entrepreneurship.

Our businesses often become an all consuming fire??.

Our families become involuntary employees of the business and then it's all hands on deck. The entrepreneurial drive will sometimes push us to pursue with reckless abandon. 

I understand having an intense week especially if you two are preparing for major launch or perhaps you’re trying to finish up a book or eCourse for your coaching community. It can all demand so much from us.

Will you arrive mentally exhausted?

Will you arrive physically drained?

These are very important questions for as married entrepreneurs to ponder.

A few things we’ve learned:

??Devise and layout a game plan for your week on Sunday evening. Sway and I have found filing in our calendars and planners with revenue generating activities gives us a unique edge going into Monday.

??Don’t work late every night trying to be a superstar CEO. We all like checking things off of our to-do-list but don’t let it consume to the point that you’re neglecting daily rest.

??Distinguish between what’s important what is a real emergency. You would think this goes without saying but we can find ourselves tending to everyone’s needs and not getting any real work done.

Too often, people (customers, vendors and staff) will try and make us think that they’re lack of attention to small details or procrastination are somehow our problems. 

Learn to troubleshoot and hold others accountable so that you can lead more effectively. Every so-called emergency doesn’t require our immediate attention.

Best,

OL & Sway
