December 14th. You are wrapping up your year...your sales goals. Your strategic plan and forecast for 2025.
Are you worried? Are you stressed? Are you procrastinating? Are you feeling like you have to do more?
If that question of more takes you away from your family...can I ask you to reconsider? I think we all have been in positions of leadership, whether elected or appointed, that have taken us away for mornings, nights, and weekends. And when we are home, we are obsessively checking our phones to reply as quickly as possible in order to be available to everyone always.
Everyone...except our families.
Let me speak for your spouse and kids. Or, for your parents. Or your friends. Or anyone outside of work that doesn't matter to your pocketbook. They miss you. So some work things might need to wait. Or, you might need to take a deeper look at your position, your supervisor, and your career.
Family first. Do that thing that gets you home to your family. And it might be for less money. But it will be worth it.
I promise. I did it. And I promise.
