It’s my birthday week!  I’m showing up today with a minisode and a little riff on what’s on my mind AND what I’ve been hearing in my conversations with retailers and entrepreneurs.

Balance. The sweet divide between work, play, and rest.

Why is it SO hard to find the balance? And when you do, are you feeling chronic guilt when you aren’t working?

Here’s my golden tip: Get clear on what’s important.

What matters? What are your biggest priorities? Get clear, and then only give your time to those things.

Another tip: Schedule intentional rest and play. You deserve it, actively participate and give yourself to it, like it’s your job.

Not doing these things and not prioritizing balance can lead to burnout. I’ve felt that before, and if I can save any of my retailers from it, I want to.

There will always be a million things to do, but we’re in it for the long game! Face yourself every day with grace, love, and your priorities in line.

What did you think of today’s episode? Let me know!

I’m rooting for your success!
