Three Things We Learned From This Episode

1. Make the most of your time (00:51- 01:54)
   If you’re planning to set times that are convenient for you, make sure you’re incredibly focused when you are at work. The work-life balance can be best achieved when you stay fully present in each moment, whether at your company or in your family time.
   
   
2. Know your ‘Why?’ (09:50- 11:09
   Understanding your motivation is key to acting on it. You need to have a clear idea of why you want to adapt your working hours. By doing this, you’ll be more driven to ensure you’re sticking to the plans you make that help you stay on track.
   
   
3. Do the work first (12:33-13:07)
   Before you can adjust your work hours, you need to have systems and plans in place. Don’t jump into shorter hours without a strategy. This is the fastest way to jeopardize your business. Take this move incredibly seriously because your company depends on it.

Entrepreneurship provides incredible opportunities, but remember that by becoming an entrepreneur, you’re committing to running a business. As such, you need to pay attention to every decision you make, and carefully analyze the way forward. Make sure you’re building relationships with clients and keeping them loyal to you, no matter the hours you work. The key to your success lies in working smarter, not harder, and definitely not longer.
