Your Question:
How do I balance my own needs with my business needs?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that balancing my own needs with my business needs is crucial for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Just like how I prioritize my family time with Susan and our kids, Joshua and Rebecca, I need to make time for myself to recharge and pursue my passions. For me, that means setting aside time to play chess and read science fiction novels. In my experience, it's essential to get your priorities in order. If your schedule doesn't allow time to focus on what's truly important, then it's time to rework your priorities and make a new schedule. As I often advise my congregation, if you're not making time for God and drawing on His strength, then your priorities are out of order. This applies to our business lives as well - we need to make sure we're not letting the pursuit of success and wealth consume us. Ultimately, finding a balance between our own needs and business needs requires discipline and intentionality. We need to be mindful of the spirit of lust for more success, power, and wealth that can often accompany business success. By prioritizing what truly matters and making time for self-care and spiritual growth, we can maintain a healthy balance and avoid burnout. As a Chicago Cubs fan, I know that even in the midst of a long season, it's essential to take time to rest and recharge - the same is true in business and life.
