One of the things I preach over and over again is getting clear on exactly what you want your life (and your business) to look like.
For example…
I have a friend that makes a healthy 6-figures as a real estate agent.
He’s got a killer apartment in downtown Austin…
He drives an Audi…
He takes elaborate vacations in Mexico and Costa Rica multiple times a year…
So he’s got a pretty good life.
And most people would LOVE to have his life.
However…
There’s a few things about his life that I would personally hate.
For one, he’s always answering calls and texts about the houses he’s selling.
Doesn’t matter if it’s 8 in the morning or 8 at night.
He’s answering the phone.
Furthermore, his Saturdays are almost always dedicated to showing houses.
So he’ll spend 6 hours on a Saturday afternoon getting the house setup, schmoozing with guests and then cleaning everything up.
I have no idea if being on calls all the time or having his Saturdays spoken for bothers him…
However, I do know that it would bother me.
That’d be a no go for me.
Why?
Well for one, I hate talking on the phone.
So I would certainly hate people calling me at all hours of the day and answering questions for them.
And on top of that…
I like having my Saturdays open.
I like going to the pool with friends on Saturday…
And I like hanging out at Zilker park…
I would rather enjoy my Saturdays, and take some time off instead of being obligated to work.
So for me, that would be a deal breaker.
Now you might feel the same…
Or you might feel entirely different…
Point being…
You should get really clear on exactly how you want your life to look.
What’s your day look like?
What are the things you DON’T want to do?
How much flexibility do you have?
All this stuff matters.
And like I said, it varies for everyone.
You don’t want to make the mistake of building a business (or a career) that you hate.
Cause no amount of money is worth that.
Make sense?
I hope so.
Cause that’s all I got for ya this morning…
Enjoy your Saturday,
