Ditch The Busy Badge And Get The I Love Life Badge!

Hey Friends!

How are you feeling lately?  I am doing research for my class and the statistics for Gen X Women being exhausted are staggering...

One third of Gen X Women are getting less than 7 hours of sleep per night!  We are actually getting less than any other generation!

So I want to take a minute to talk about the "Busy Badge" so many of us seem to be proud of!

We all want to feel popular, fulfilled, and accomplished but are we running ourselves ragged just to Be, Do, and Have everything our moms told us we could!

I know when I was building my first business, I was probably working 60 hour weeks (I mean does anyone really have the time to count how many hours!), going to networking events 3-4 nights per week, and then working when I was home on the things I could not finish at the office!  I WAS EXHAUSTED!

And more than once, more like once a year, I would break down and have a cry fest for a few days, feel better, and then do it all again!

Until one day, I said no more, I want MORE!

So I set a plan in place to be able to work Part Time and I am proud to say I made it happen!  And this is how I did it...

1. I looked at what I was good at, the things only I could do! For me and my business that was big picture planning, developing marketing campaigns, and keeping up on industry trends!

2. Then I worked task, by task to hire someone to do it vs me doing it!  As a neighboring franchise owner told me, if you want to grow, you have to delegate! It was never done how I would exactly do it, but it got done and we all know done is better than perfect!

3. I implemented systems!  I made checklists and directions for every task that needed to be done, so it was easy for a team member to pick up the list and follow the steps!

Those 3 simple things, set me FREE!  In October 2012, my boyfriend and I took off in the RV and headed South for 1 month!  It was the longest I had been away from my business in 5 years!

Sure!  There were some issues, but I set a goal and achieved it because I knew if I didn't, I would work myself to death!

I would not consider myself a workaholic but when I enjoy something, I love to be absorbed in it!  

Since that time, I have been on a mission to help other women, have that same realization and put a plan in place to achieve all those dreams they have keeping them up at night!

That is one of the reasons I started my skincare business is because it is an affordable "vehicle" for any woman to use as a way to add an additional stream of income to achieve those dreams!

So here is my challenge for you this week - check out the video in this post!  Then send me a DM in Messenger and let me know what is ONE THING you can delegate to someone else to free you up some time to do something you love and enjoy!

Maybe its get more sleep, maybe it is crafting, maybe its hang with your girlfriends!

If you cannot come up with one thing, PLEASE reach out because I can guarantee you, there is one thing you can delegate!

We sometimes forget in the hustle and bustle of life, that the future is not a guarantee!  So we want to live and love, each and every day!

I would encourage you to grab my Free Resource - "The Gen X Survival Guide" for my
