Do You Have a Lifestyle Business or a 24/7 Job?

Life Balance Alert!

Before you hit the ground running with your exciting business plans for the year do the following activity.

Get your beautiful, blank diary for 2011 and block in your holidays NOW.

Then block in personal development, business development time THEN schedule your business projects.

You’re building a lifestyle business NOT a 24/7 job.

I share with you how I do this and something special I’ll be doing on Fridays this year. You may want to do the same.

I’d love to hear your comments below. Go on….tell me what you think :)

P.S. I should be camping on the beach while you watch this video so I’ll log on in a few days and join the conversation here. All part of Operation Automate Janet I’ll be teaching you on a special call in a couple of weeks.

    Janet You are right. Thank you.

  2. Great ideas here, Janet. I do this, and it has been wonderful for my life and my business. My family appreciates that we have so much time together each year.
    I hope you and I will have an opportunity to connect this year.

  3. Looking and sounding great Janet! Thanks for the wonderful suggestions and making me realise what I’m missing out on by not taking those holidays.

  4. Luanne says:

    Wonderful advice Janet – I want to come with you to belly dancing and drumming :)

  5. Thank you Janet, That is such great advice. I went straight to my family calendar and diary and did just what you suggested. It feels great to have a plan and direction. Very exciting :)

  6. Hope says:

    I constantly read about the importance of taking time for myself, but you are right, it always gets put behind all the other biz stuff that comes up. Scheduling those holidays and different biz aspects sounds like a great way to get started. Thanks.

    Great reminder to us all Janet!
    I’ve booked in a few mini holidays throughout this year, as well as dates for next Summer.

    I also use and highly recommend ‘You’sessions! Start with the next week in mind and pencil in two x one hour sessions where you will committ to something else you enjoy apart from doing business.
    From that step, do it for the next week and so on.

    I love having my visit to the hairdresser, and last year started to block out the whole day and added in coffee/lunch with friends, nails or pedicure or go browse something of interest.

    Just begin and enjoy the power thrill from creating the life work harmony! Live Happy Sharyn

  8. Hi Janet
    I love your videos, they are such an inspiration.
    What you are describing is a bit like the ‘pay yourself first philosophy’ related to planning.
    It is so true we are in business to have a lifestyle that works for us, not to be a slave to our business.
    Thanks once again for the inspiration.
    PS When I do videos, I’m going to take a leave out of your book :)

  10. Absolutely on Target, Janet! Relegate time NOW or NEVER, because the work WILL pile up and if we don’t take time to replenish ourselves then what can we realistically expect for our business? (We’re having snow here in my section of the world. You’re tropical holiday looks delicious!)

    I think I really can’t take a 24/7 job except maybe if I am going to be a mother soon…

    Wonderful advice and suggestions! Remember, we all need rest. Taking on a 24/7 job is very dangerous. Take it slot and relax. And have time for other things especially your family!

    I think writing is one of the most undervalued skills for most people today. I see so many websites outsourcing their content writing to writers who lets fact it; they do not have the correct grasp of the language to write a quality article.
