I over did it and let a few people down this weekend and I'm okay with it 😳 but before you call me cold-hearted, here's why... Although I try to keep family and business in balance, I noticed how many meetings began sliding onto my calendar Saturday and Sunday afternoons following an already packed work week of 60 hours when I should be doing board games and adventures with the family! So I did a business black-out this weekend. You will also find an "away message" on my LinkedIn messenger 👋 I missed four weekend calls and let a few people down after realizing how let down my own family was for my lack of presence. Do I feel terrible for canceling last minute? Of course I do! I'm not one to bail because I loathe being ghosted. But it wasn't nearly as terrible as I felt seeing tears in my son's eyes as he said, "you never want to play with me!" BALANCE is critical, especially as we work remote and find ourselves working MORE than ever! Get your priorities straight and stick to your boundaries. What is at the top of your priority list? 1️⃣ Family & Friends 2️⃣ Health 3️⃣ Happiness 4️⃣ Branding 5️⃣ Marketing 6️⃣ Volunteering 7️⃣ Speaking 8️⃣ Social Media Stay healthy. Stay happy! #balance
