The ability to balance business life with family life, without compromising on the quality of both is a rare skill that few possess. Most business people devote long hours to their businesses and very little time with their families and lead lives of stress and worry, that quite often leads to breakdowns in marriages.
When trouble starts brewing on the home front realization dawns that its time they were less concerned about how the business is going and there are promises and pledges galore of spending more time with the family and taking that long overdue holiday.
Here are some tips on how you can make amazing breakthroughs in your business and private lives. Have you as a business person and a successful one to boot, ever felt that in spite of all your accomplishments and successes there was something missing. The harder you work, the happier you should feel but it is the other way around and you wonder why?
The truth is that you are shackled in prisons of your own making. You have the answers but are prisoners of pushing schedules that leave time for little else and fun means profit statistics on graphs and bank balance sheets.
Here is what you need to do:
Make a list of the top 8 areas that are crucial to the success of your business, ignoring which could have disastrous consequences for your business. Make a similar list of importance for your family life. Then see how best you can combine the too. Identify areas where compromises can be made and determine what areas, in business as well as your personal life give you maximum happiness – have a clear picture, for this is what your future will be. Set yourself attainable targets that will require lesser contribution of time. Look at broader goals and not merely targets set for the day or the week. Imagine you are on the last day of the year, musing on the year passed. Would you have changed anything, not only in your business life but also in your personal life?
With the advance of technology and information splurge becoming one of our biggest strengths, physical presence at the work place does not necessarily mean more money, no more does time equal money, now results equal money. Find time away from your business. Free time will make you sharper and energize you and you will return not only with a happy and contended family, but with new viewpoints and a higher energy level and increased resourcefulness. Realize that it is erroneous to believe that results are in direct proportion to how hard you work. Smart work is more important than hard work.
Once you master the technique of balancing your professional life and personal life without compromising on either, it will become second nature and you will continue to reap profits at the workplace and also stay happy on the home front.
