Fill The Well

I had a lot of time to think while camping over the weekend.

I thought a lot about the time we give to OURSELVES. The time we allow ourselves to take a deep breath and really reflect on life and the choices we’re making. Are we on the right journey? Are we doing what’s best not only for our families but for US?

As small business owners, we so often forget to stop and breathe. We wake up early every day, we work 10-13 hour shifts. We give and give. We give to our employees, we give to our families, we give to our friends. We give until we’re all used up. We’re exhausted, or sick – or both.

We forget how important it is to stop
To take care of US. To say “I need this”. To recognize - I’ll be better for this

My family needs this, my clients need this.

As business owners we serve. We serve our clients, we serve our families, but we often forget to serve ourselves. We forget that cliché - “You can't pour from an empty cup”. And we’ve been working so hard for so long, not only is our cup empty - the well is near dried up.

I want to challenge everyone this week to take 4 hours to yourself. Do something YOU want to do, take some time to recharge a little. Give back to the well. You’ll find that not only will you feel better - You’ll GIVE better, You’ll have more to give to your clients, you’ll have more to give to your employees.

You’ll have more to give to your families.
