EP #20| Making Space for the Things that Matter

You don’t want to look back at your life and feel like you missed opportunities to get the most out of life. 

 

Whatever it is, these are the things that matter. Leisure matters. Family time Matters. Time with friends matter. Travel matters. What are the things that matter to you? If we aren’t intentional about our time and protect the things that matter, it’s too easy to look up and be like, oh my god, I haven’t had a proper vacation in 3 years. 

 

In this episode we answer questions like…

1. How to prepare your business so that you CAN take the time off that you want
2. How to set expectations with your clients about time away and how that will be handled.
3. How to plan quarterly, monthly and weekly to set your business up for success while allowing you time away.
