Some things aren’t worth the return. Some things are worth it and more.
When I became a wife, hustle was still easy.
Becoming a mother? I acutely resented my career because all I wanted was to be with my kids.
But I couldn’t afford the time… or so I thought.
Changing my mindset helped me change my business and now I spend 4-5 days out of the week living.
Not working. Living.
That’s what happens when you build a business that gives you freedom to choose.
When you control the fear instead of letting it drive your decision.
“I have to text this client back or they will book somewhere else,” — as your son is trying to read you a book.
Did that make you want to cry? Same.
It was my reality for a time, and I can tell you that I’d rather be broke and present than rich and absent.
But you don’t have to choose one or the other.
You just need the path to better decisions, made with complete clarity, to get you to your goals:
Being 100% present with your kids.
Relationship with your husband is thriving.
Honoring yourself.
Taking time when you need it.
☝🏼 Those are mine, but what are yours? Make them the reason, and the decisions are easier to make.
This is why I became a business and mindset coach.
Money is a renewable resource but it is the central focus in our society.
Time isn’t. Protect it like your life depends on it… because it does, and so does theirs.
