Like really, is everything on your schedule that you’ve been doing, something you have to continue to do?  Maybe it still needs to get done, but who else can do it? Take a fresh look and truly sit with each thing.  Do you really need to start that home remodel? Do you really need to take that trip just because you have every year? Do you? And maybe these are the two priorities you want to move other things around for.  What are three to five most important things that you personally need to have as a priority?  Quality time with your kiddos?

I promise you, you will be more efficient with even less time. What Are Your Personal Priorities As A High-Achiever In Direct Sales?  Strategy number two: Create a “fun” list.  What’s a fun list?  It’s a list of events, experiences, things to do, places to see, people to visit, and food to enjoy. Keep your mind open to things that don’t cost money.  What are the fun things you want to do in the near future?  This list will include fun your kids want to have (with or without you). Include them when you create the list.  Create a “fun” list for yourself!   And especially, create a fun list for your business.
