Work-Life Balance: It's a Myth
Are you a busy women who works and has a ton of family obligations?
Are you constantly searching for a magical way to strike the elusive work-life balance?
Well, my friends, I have some unsettling news:
It doesn't exist.
Work/life balance is a myth.
The end.
Okay, not really.
But seriously, there is no way that we can strike balance between all that we do on a daily basis.
I would REALLY love "balance" to be a thing, but it's not.
In my opinion, it's more like juggling.
For example, if you are a parent trying to run a business, there are always multiple things that will seem most important.
Nothing is ever balanced. It just isn't.
You might have a program that is launching -- IMPORTANT.
A kid that's crying - IMPORTANT.
Rent that's due - IMPORTANT.
You have balls in the air, constantly. Juggling them.
Each day bringing a barrage of IMPORTANT things to juggle. Their priority status shifting moment to moment.
The key is, one of those balls, needs to be YOU.
Consider this:
YOU are the greatest asset to your business and your family.
Not your computer, not your VA.
YOU.
Without YOU, the business falls apart; your family falls apart.
If one of those balls in the air is YOU -- meaning, you deem yourself IMPORTANT -- the juggling will get a little bit easier and maybe someday, that elusive "balance" just might become a thing.
Ladies, take are of YOU.
YOU are worth it.
Love YOU More.
