Serious Entrepreneur, is your life balanced or a balancing act? In business today, it seems we are under greater pressure than ever before. In our quest to be successful, we're working harder and longer just to stay in the race.
Most of the time, it is pure survival acrobatics.
The life of an internet marketer consists of endless rounds of promotional and motivational pep talk, chasing of prospects, struggling to keep the head above the avalanche of instant messages and emails, keeping ahead of the marketing game, in short doing so many things including, perhaps, counting the chickens before they hatch.
How do those, who survive, then survive without a career burnout?
John Alston, who, as a serious entrepreneur, can understand the problems of serious entrepreneurs as much as anyone can ever, says: "For some of us, work is our first love, and for those of us struggling to make our businesses work, there are patient and enduring lovers, spouses and children hanging in there with us. For others there are ex-lovers, ex-spouses and alienated children who can and will testify to what you really value." He wrote this in the Professional Speaker magazine of January.
Practically no arena of life is free of stress and strain. However, an internet marketing job is a different kettle of fish altogether. Whether you are into it full time or part time, an internet marketing job sucks the juice out of your system. What is left of you is more or less unrecognizable to you yourself. In short, you are at the mercy of your pressure-tension potpourri pretty much round the clock.
The most successful internet marketers and business owners that I know have a passion for what they do. They are stimulated by the challenges and opportunities that come with being their own boss. They thrive on being entrepreneurs and discovering that next golden nugget that will take their business to the next level. They wake up excited to see what a new day will bring.
But they also know how long they should work, and when they should stop.
However much they love their work, serious entrepreneurs ensure that internet marketing is not the be all and end all of their lives.
They ensure that they get to spend quality time with their kids and friends and spouses. Serious entrepreneurs would hunt, fish, or scuba dive or whatever it is that stimulates them. Or they may read, paint, or cook, if that is what makes them unwind.
Incorporating entertainments, altruisms, or gym workouts into one's schedule is not in fact a time management problem. Each of these facets of life is as important in a man's life as the other. Together they maintain the equilibrium of life and make the passion for making money itself worthwhile.
It is senseless to carp that you do not find enough time to do what you want to do.
Maybe it is difficult to manage everything yourself. There is so much that can be done that there could practically be no end to the list. But a person has to get his priorities correct, and devote time to what gives him consummate satisfaction. The rest can perhaps be outsourced.
Albert Schweitzer said, "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
