1093. Recalibrating Your Time As a Busin...

KELLY ROACH
About this episode

As an entrepreneur, YOU have the freedom to create your schedule. But in order to be a highly profitable business leader, you need to maximize that time. 

 

In today’s episode, we explore the art of pursuing significant life changes while running a thriving business. I’m sharing actionable strategies for creating balance, overcoming fear, and making sacrifices to achieve what truly matters; which I’ve recently learned after deciding to homeschool my daughter. 

 

Whether you’re considering a major life adjustment or simply seeking inspiration to manage dual priorities, this episode is packed with insights to help you thrive.

Key Takeaways:
  • Creating Time for What Matters: If something is important enough to you, you’ll make the time. Self-trust is critical for committing to your priorities without letting other responsibilities slip.

  • The Reality of Sacrifice: Anything meaningful in life comes with sacrifices. The key is understanding the price you’re willing to pay and preparing mentally to handle the adjustments.

  • Systematic Planning for Success: Organization, preparation, and teamwork are essential to balancing personal and professional goals. Establish systems that allow you to work seamlessly with your family and business.

  • Tailoring Your Approach: Homeschooling’s flexibility allows for creativity and customization. Consider how this adaptability applies to other areas of your life and business.

  • Empowering Your Family: Use educational opportunities to strengthen family bonds and build valuable skills. For us, this includes teaching investing, communication, and leadership alongside traditional subjects.

  • Pursuing Non-Traditional Paths: Evaluate cultural norms and focus on what aligns with your family’s unique goals and values. Stepping outside the norm often leads to the most fulfilling outcomes.
