Work-Life Balance for Entrepreneurs:

Embrace the Possibilities, Not Perfection

Work-life balance has to be in one of the top five topics discussed between entrepreneurs these days. And for good reason. We strive to better understand what it means for our lives and how to reach it every day. Unfortunately, even with millions of advice listicles and how-to articles coming up when you Google search it, you won’t find the full picture. The truth is that there is never a real balance because there is never enough time to give equal amounts of attention to everything you have on your plate.

I was single, raising a daughter while building multiple businesses for many years, and I never let it stop me. Now I’m both a mother and a wife. How do I balance it all? Well, first, I’m not your typical, traditional entrepreneur. I have never been afraid to think and make moves outside the box to achieve my goals.

Instead of viewing my work tasks as a hierarchy, I adjusted my mindset to reprioritize urgency over face value. This is what worked for me. But it won’t look the same for you. Things like strategy, business operations, time with my daughter and husband sit at the top of my list. Ask yourself: what’s at the top of my list? Once you have your priorities in order, move forward with that system.
