I've been thinking about this a lot while I'm in New York.
I don't just want a successful business.
I want a successful life.
And those two things aren't necessarily the same.
I don't want to spend every waking hour working.
I don't want my business to dictate when I can take time off.
I want to spend time with my daughters.
Enjoy my home.
Sit by my pool.
Go for coffee.
See live music.
Travel.
Have adventures.
And still have a business that I'm proud of.
So I've started asking myself a very different question.
Instead of:
“How can I fit my life around my business?”
I'm asking:
“How can I build my business around the life I want?”
That shift in thinking has changed so much for me.
And it's something I want to help other people think about too.
Because especially when you're building a business from scratch, it's very easy to create something that looks successful from the outside…
but doesn't actually give you the life you wanted in the first place.
I'm not interested in doing that anymore.
I want the business and the life.
And I'm figuring out how to build both.
