In this episode, I talk with Ben Chernivsky. Ben is an incredible photographer and business owner, and he has so much great information to share about that. But today we are going a different (and equally as important) route, focusing on the importance of self awareness, and how that impacts all parts of your life, including your business. Ben lives his life with the intention of taking action. He is able to do that by scheduling everything, surrounding himself with the right kind of support, and keeping his mind and body healthy. Ben works in super intense 30 minute increments, then makes sure to take time for mental breaks, doing things he enjoys like roasting his own coffee in his garage. He has found benefits from going to counseling with his wife. They have learned how to communicate, and found out each of their roles in the family, realizing neither role is more important. Exercising and eating healthy play a big role in Ben’s life, and he sees these as preventative measures to keep himself healthy. While Ben runs incredibly successful businesses, he says, “To me, your business is a supplement to get you buy in this weird world that we live in right now, it is not a measure of success”. He believes that it is so important to find happiness within yourself, and that no one is perfect, everyone is a work in progress. Your business is a reflection of you, so taking care of your mental and physical health keeps you from carrying baggage into your business. It has been so refreshing to talk about these things with Ben! Self awareness is such an important topic that directly affects your business, so don't neglect it!
