I’ve been lying about how much I work {Podcast 71}
IN TODAY’S PODCAST….
I’ve realized I’ve been lying about how much I work. I say I work 4 hours a day – 25 hours a week. But really, is that true?
I won’t say I’ve been lying, but with everything I do – admin, emails, sales activities, content creation, I DO work about 4 hours a day.
But a few years ago, I decided and started to believe that I COULD make A LOT of money and a helluva impact through doing what I love – writing, speaking, putting myself out there. And that belief has come TRUE.
A lot of the stuff I do you could classify as “work,” but to me – it’s more than that. It’s a ritual.I don’t remember half of the “work” I do!
When I get up – I spent 30 mins as journalling. But that’s not “work,” right?
Then there’s my writing – I spend AT LEAST 1- 2 hours a day on writing. So that’s at least 6 and a half hours a day “working.” For me, my writing is how I grow my tribe – if I don’t write, I DON’T SELL!
Then there’s filming videos, Periscoping, reading – I DON’T consider that work. That’s at least another 45 minutes / 1 hour a day. 7.5 hours every day.
THEN there’s working out. That’s not work either – BUT I get ideas when I’m in the middle of a workout. It clears my mind – it’s my MEDITATION. Another 30 minutes of work!
There’s 8 hours every day.
My day and schedule ALWAYS changes. All of this might not be w”work,” but IT ALWAYS ADDS UP. It always ties in. And that’s what matters.
- Work doesn’t stop after admin, emails, or sales activities
- Being an entrepreneur is a LIFESTYLE
- When you love what you do, it’s not a clock-in-clock-out job, it’s much more than that
EXERCISE:
What can you DECIDE to have in your life that you’d be able to call ‘work’? What would YOU like your day to be made up of, and therefore be able to call ‘work’?
