Welcome to another ‘Inbetween-a-sode”. In this week's show, Michael is looking at a question that plays on his mind, “How to run a successful business and be a good parent?”
So take a 15 minute break, relax and let Michael help you find some answers.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being a parent is hard. Running a business is hard. But the two together? That can feel overwhelming. Can you balance them, is it even possible? Michael gives his thoughts on this and shares a few tips that might help you to feel less overwhelmed.
Michael shares his tips on prioritising, both in his work life and home life so that he can create a healthy work / life balance. Especially his 3 tier system of “Do, Delegate or Dump”
What are you worth an hour? Once you calculate this number you can make decisions on whether or not it is efficient to employ someone else to take care of something for you, cleaning or gardening for example. You might find that that both saves you money and increases the time you can spend with your family.
Learn to say no. Michael talks about how being brave enough to say no to certain opportunities can lead to improvements in your business and your relationship with your family.
