What hours do you work?
I used to be the world’s worst for not sticking to my working hours…
It went something like this…
“I have Wednesdays off… unless that’s the only day my client can do.”
“I start at 9:30am… unless someone needs an earlier appointment, then I’ll just pop the kids in breakfast club.”
“I only work one evening a week… until I’m fully booked, convince myself I have a good reason to squeeze someone in, and suddenly I’m working until after 9pm on that day too.”
And that’s how it happens, one little exception at a time.
Before you know it, you barely know what day of the week it is. The days blur into one, you’re constantly thinking about work, your appointment book and you realise you’re not really present for the people you started the business for in the first place.
Longing for the weekend.
Now, I’ve learnt that if I don’t protect my diary, and my time, no one else will.
Boundaries aren’t selfish, they’re what make running a business sustainable, or burnout creeps in.
For me, that realisation is what led me to start building an income alongside my beauty business (that wasn’t tied to my time)… and it’s changed the way I think about work, time and success completely.
