Be accountable and guilt free!

Welcome back!

Be accountable and don’t feel guilty!

 

 

Hold yourself accountable. The good thing about working for yourself and having your own business is you can pick up your kids, you can go to soccer practice, you can coach your son’s little league team, you can do those things because you can organize your time and not be locked into a typical 9 to 5 workday.

 

At the same time, when you do that you must be responsible and hold yourself accountable for still doing the work. If you want to miss four hours of work time to go do great stuff with your family, by all means, go for it! That’s the reason why you are your own boss. Enjoy it, go do it 100%, and love it every second that you are there with your family. The last thing you want is to feel guilty for being in place A when you should be at place B. Enjoy your kid’s soccer game, your visit with your family, or whatever it is you chose to do, and enjoy every second.

 

When you come back, though, you must make up all the work just like when you had a job and didn’t finish your workload. You don’t go home and relax; you finish up your work, because that’s just how a business is run. Being your own boss gives you this flexibility. Just make sure you manage your time and manage your emotions well.  I can’t stress how vital this is.
