I woke up with a massive headache one day. I had not been sleeping well, adjusting to my new house at the time.
It happens to me everytime I move to a new house or sleep in a new place for the first time. Does this happen to you too?
Anyway, I wanted to prove stubborn and not listen to my body telling me to take a break and rest. Then I remembered that I constantly preach self care, which is one area I struggle with the most.
The reason I can afford to take breaks is because of 3 things:
1. I have a team. I have staff that understand what needs to be done daily. They manage my community and customer care. They have sales conversations that lead to sales.
2. I leverage automation. I can schedule my social media posts right on the group and right from Canva. So I don’t need to be making posts whenever I need content to go out.
3. I have systems in my business to ensure I am making sales even when I am offline. My business runs with minimum effort because of tiny little things that are either free or cost very little. These things are called systems. When you have systems, you can make money while you sleep.
If you cannot afford to have a team yet, get you number 2 and 3. You don’t have to be busy to be succesful. Hard work is no longer about working 16 hour days. Replace hard work with smart work and watch your success 10X. Learn from those who have done it before.
