Focus on Your Goals and Maintain Work Life Balance

Why do 95% of us run out of gas, air, and time?

As entrepreneurs it is way too easy to focus 100% of our time on our business. Who has time to worry about nutrition, fitness, and social connections when we are trying to do everything possible to stay in business, or build something that will change the world? 

My good friend Jack Crawford, the Founding General Partner of Impact Venture Capital, shares why he believes these things are extremely important. Jack found himself at a point in life when he was spread way too thin, was putting off family time to put out “fires,” and was not making the impact in his business he knew he was capable of. 

So, Jack decided to take action and has been researching, testing, and building tools/techniques in order to create the life and business he wants. He calls it his “strategic plan for life.” His strategic plan for life has helped him become laser focused on what’s most important in life and as a result, he is now taking massive steps to achieving his big hairy audacious goals. 

In this episode Jack shares all of the research he has gathered, the tools/techniques he uses regularly, and how he actually implemented all of this into his and his family’s lives. 

Taking the time to focus on the most important pieces of your life outside your business will help you become more successful than you think, and it’s a lot more fun!
