Gary Vee brings it home when he says “The secret to success is this: work harder. When you think you’ve worked your hardest, go even deeper.” Highly successful entrepreneurs glorify that success only comes through hard work. It’s become a plague in US culture.
People like Elon Musk, Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank, Grant Cardone and countless other “gurus” glorify hustle. They brainwash people into believing that unless you’re working 24/7, you’re grinding and suffering because success can’t come easy (another lie), and you’re constantly talking about it and posting it on social media, you are not working enough! They would have you believe that you have to work insanely long hours ALL. THE. TIME. And they try to sugarcoat it by saying that when you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work.
Now it is true that when you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work. And that’s the way it’s meant to be. However, this is so myopic even if you are loving every minute of your work. All the parts of our lives are meant to be satisfying and fulfilling, not just work. That’s not a balanced or integrated life. So many of my clients have this exact issue. They even divulge their dirty little secret that they’d rather their relationships suffer than their business. And their relationships do suffer. They have strained relationships with their significant others and are not fully present for their children, missing important milestones and activities. Feeling guilty when they’re focusing on their business that they’re not with their families, but also feeling guilty when they’re with their families that they’re not working. Then they wonder why their relationships are unfulfilling. They’re also willing to sacrifice their health. A majority of the high-performing clients that come to me have some chronic health issues. Their health continues to deteriorate until they get to the point that they’re so sick that they risk their quality of life permanently unless they do something urgently. That’s the time when they finally are willing to seek help. And their health is often an impediment to them being able to scale from multi 6 figures into 7 figures and beyond. Their health is imploding, their relationships are rocky and they have no time for themselves, much less their families.
You don’t need to wait till you show up in the E.R. to see that it is NOT healthy (as one of my clients did). Or have your children start having symptoms of anxiety, OCD or depression (as others of my clients have ‒ yes, it has so much to do with your energy ‒ it’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility).
And why would you want to spend your health focusing on making more, so that you can then spend your wealth on regaining your health?!?
You absolutely can work LESS THAN 40 hours a week and take your income to the 7+ figure level and grow your impact. Instead of trading your time, health and relationships for money, get into flow and scale your business with ease.
You don’t see any part of nature (unless it’s been tampered with by humans), work hard to be successful. Just like you have a purpose encoded within you, the way to fulfill it successfully with the most ease and grace is also encoded within you. We are part of nature, and it’s our
nature to be successful and abundant without working ridiculously hard and long hours to do it.
I help my clients cut 20-30 hours off their workweek in the first few weeks we work together before they even hire any additional team. It’s about shifting energy, mindset and beliefs.
There are some of my clients that will fill that freed up time with more work until we eliminate the ingrained subconscious negative beliefs that they “Have to work hard to succeed,” “Earning money is hard,” “Nothing of value comes easy,” etc.
Then they can fill that time with their other passions, connecting with family and friends, relationships that fuel them, with taking care of themselves.
And when we experience joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in ALL areas of our lives, our income skyrockets. It’s a natural byproduct of living life in flow.
When you shift your mindset, move into flow, focus your time and energy, you get to have the business AND lifestyle you want.
Stop hustling. Start living. Have some fun!
