It’s the middle of the Christmas holidays and children or no children, it’s the time of the year when most of us hope to take some time off, whether that’s to get away or simply spend time relaxing at home with family and friends.

So my question to you is … are you managing to have the time off that you would like?

I had a conversation yesterday that got me thinking about our mortality and the fact that we never quite know when our time is up.

Sorry, that’s not very cheery I know, but it got me thinking about how we spend our time. Very often business owners started their business with dreams of more time to do X but find that the business takes over and they end up spending less time with their friends and family and doing the things they wanted to do.

This is perhaps a good time of year to stand back and see how near you are to achieving what you set out to do. If you’re not getting time to do the things you thought you’d be doing when you owned your own business then work out what’s stopping you.

It might be that you’re not clear about exactly what you want so you’re going round in circles. In which case you need to get clear on your goals so that you know what you’re aiming for.

Or it might be that you are too central to your business and you need to find ways of releasing yourself and getting things done without you.

If you want to chat about systems, processes and delegating and how that might help you get more time to do the things you want to do, I’m always happy to have a chat, just give me a call.
