If it feels like you are working too hard. you probably are
Your side business has launched and you are still working full time and you are redefining the word 'BUSY!' You are not alone. However, if it feels like you are working too hard, then you probably are.
Busy vs. Insanity
There is a difference between being busy vs being insane. Think of a dog who is chasing his tail. There is a goal, but no true direction at all. It looks like fun for the first spin or two, but you get dizzy, QUICK! So stop! Ask yourself:
- Are you organized and have a plan?
- Do you have due dates?
- Have you created time for balance?
You can work hard, and lose sleep, but only for a time in season. You need to ensure your time isn't so busy that your level of insanity isn't your 'new normal'.
New Normal
Think about what this means for a minute. What does a normal day or week look like for you? If you catch yourself saying, "It's just busy right now." If that phrase creeps into your vocabulary every week/month, then is there an end date in sight? Are you so busy you are spinning in circles (did you catch your tail?!) Or are you busy this week but have room in your schedule for networking or time to relax? Does your level of 'normal' define your level of insanity. Are you okay with that level? If not, here's a tip: Change it! You are in control.
Create the environment you would work in
Get the training you need to feel like you are in control of your projects/business. If you do not have power partner... well, you have this community! Create the business you would work for. Do you:
- Offer an on boarding process
- Explain the compensation plan
- Know exactly how your team can make money
- Create growth opportunities
This shouldn't be a secret. People will be attracted to what you bring to the table. And if you don't know, then ask your up line. If you don't have an up line... consider finding a different business that creates the framework and growth opportunity you are looking for.
Not sure what I do or how I set my team up for success? Ask me. I'm a private message away and look forward to hearing from you. ;-)

I would never get everything done if not for insomnia.
Thanks for sharing some great information. I know plenty of people in the shape you mention.
Oh wow! I need a full nights rest to be able to function properly. Good for you for knowing your limits. Cheers!
Terrific post. I remember this stage and you really captured the feeling.
Over that now and comfortable.
