Your problem is not having enough time, it\u2019s what you do with it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s how you manage your time.<\/strong><\/p>\n In today\u2019s world we are constantly in reaction mode, rather than action mode. We react to texts, emails on our cell phones, phone calls, emails on our computers. We have lost control over our incoming communication. Growing up we had 1 phone and a busy signal. People waited for us. Nobody waits anymore.<\/p>\n So how do you take back and control\u00a0 your time?<\/strong><\/p>\n 1.\u00a0 You first need to own that your time is just that, yours<\/strong>. At birth we are given the gift of time and the only one that can take that away is a higher source (whatever that looks like for you). Drum roll for number 10\u2026..<\/p>\n 10. Get super clear on what you want in life.<\/strong> Stop at nothing to get that.<\/p>\n Once you life is over. It\u2019s over.<\/em><\/p>\n Sometimes we need to be hit over the head with the reality, so if this freaks you out, please talk to me<\/a>. Click here<\/a> to book a time to chat.

I really do feel like a job would be so much easier but the thought of that makes me cringe. I started my own business to have more time not work twice as much. How do I manage my business and have a life too?<\/em> ~ Melissa<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 Time is a non renewable<\/strong> resource. Once it\u2019s gone it\u2019s gone. Use it wisely.<\/strong>
<\/a>3.\u00a0 The more structured you are<\/strong> with your time, especially as a business owner, the more freedom you will have<\/strong>. You don\u2019t \u2018lose\u2019 time, you gain momentum<\/strong> in the direction you want your life to take.
4.\u00a0 Get up an hour earlier<\/strong> everyday for a year. Your life will change dramatically.
5.\u00a0 Hire an assistant<\/strong> in your business. You will gain triple<\/strong> the amount in time back. Trust me on this.<\/strong>
6.\u00a0 Break up your 24 hours<\/strong> in this order: sleep, exercise, family, business, personal. We often do it in reverse and our bodies can not sustain this (I know, I tried for years)
7.\u00a0 Break up your business time<\/strong> in this order: Sales, Marketing, Writing, Non-Revenue generating activities. Again, most people do it backwards. (maybe this is why your business is limping?)
8.\u00a0 Make a Commitment<\/strong> to a certain number of hours in a day for business. Key word: Commitment.<\/strong>
9.\u00a0 Focus on your biggest need<\/strong> in your business daily. (Usually this is client acquisition. Clients=Sales=Money=Life.)<\/p>\n
