Description

The floors must be cleaned by Friday night and the agenda must be set by Monday morning.

In the words of Jay Z, "I'm not a businessman; I'm a business, man." We all are. Each and every one of us is a company. We are the CEOs, marketing managers, sales reps, compliance personnel, front desk operators, accounting directors, recruitment chairs, public relations associates, risk-management officers of our own lives. This can feel overwhelming because it is overwhelming, but it's also exciting. Not only do you get to tidy up your life with day-to-day maintenance, but you also get to strategize in the high-level decisions that influence your life 3-5-10 years from now.

Strategize your weeks/months accordingly. Recruit the right people into your life. Know the power of your words, your brand, and understand that your reputation matters. Consult a trusted friend/mentor if you are doing something that feels wrong. Speak with conviction. Listen with curiosity. Assume most people are good people. Do not ignore the laundry that needs to be folded. Do not neglect the dishes for too long. Do not neglect the people that love you. Do not compromise on your values, ever. Be kind to yourself if you have an off day, but never have two consecutive off days.
