Transcript

Juggling a schedule for one person is tricky enough; for a two-entrepreneur household with kids, it’s another thing altogether! Learn how Jess and Dave make time for each other, for themselves, and for their deep work in today’s conversation about creating free time together as a family.

🌟3 Key Takeaways

Revisit things that don’t feel right. As you and your company grow, regularly check in to see what feels right and what should stop or change.
Clear communication and clarity around task ownership make it much easier to anticipate and enjoy the work you are in charge of.
Is the best or right thing to do also the easiest one? Think about how you want to show up for your business and family; block time in advance for what matters most individually and as a unit.

📝Permission

Jess says, “For entrepreneurs who are new parents: accept where you are in your journey, you might not be able to accomplish everything you used to be able to. Be compassionate and loving to yourself. This time is temporary.” From Dave, “Do the things for yourself in the morning that set you up for mental and physical wellness. Work can wait until you have spent some time on what makes you feel happy and energized.”

✅Do (or Delegate) This Next

Give yourself, or your business, a haircut. What is no longer working or serving you? Find something that needs to go or change to make room for something new. (Or just enjoy a new look!)
