Time Code/Show Notes  

0.35  In this episode from the Evolve Upper Limits Mastermind,                      Chris Herbert dives deep into sustainable entrepreneurship.     

1.20  Chris begins with an interesting case study about Ben, a business owner `on the tools’ with a hard-working ethic, but little cash and no clear vision of what success looked like.

8.00  86 percent of Australians are experiencing a level of burnout. On average, we have stockpiled 16 days of annual leave and we are not taking holidays.

9.20  Australians rate themselves just over four out of ten for work-life balance. We are all clearly struggling to switch off, to find ways to be with our loved ones/to do the things we love outside of our business.

12.00  The discussion turns to the question of ‘why do we all work so hard’. Money, self-esteem, societal norms, control and fear are just a few of the answers.

15.25  Draw your own success circle and realise that money does NOT determine success. How can you strive for a level of harmony when you spend a great portion of your life at work….

18.30  Think about how you can create more `time’. Focus on working on ‘big rocks’.

21.10  Execution; communication is paramount, how often do you chat with your partner and NOT speak about work? Do you compromise…. do you put your work first, failing to seek compromise which then brings conflict?

26.20  Compassion; it bridges the gap when you put yourself in ‘their shoes.

27.20   Family; have rules. No phones at the dinner table. No business calls taken after 5.30. Carve out time. Be present. Your kids will remember. You also have to roughly plan your weekend – you’ll have a more fulfilling family life as a result.

29.40  Memories; be more present. You in your family’s life – that’s all that matters.

31.15   Sleep; it’s important. There’s a reason you feel tired. Listen to your body. Exercise – to get the best version of you. Make sure you are eating well; make lunch, invest some time into eating better with a meal prep delivery. Prioritise.

35.00  Mindset. Feed and fertilize your mind as you would a garden. Plant the good seeds. Reading, listen to podcasts, become effective and learned. Build the best version of you.

36.20  Ask yourself; how much does it matter to you? What can you do to achieve work-life balance faster? Is work more important than your family… how much does your partner need from you…

37.10  If you’re not right – nothing is right. ‘Progress = Happiness. Just a small step each day.  Think about what defines your level of success and you’ll realise it’s the little things that count.
