Beyond Busyness

You know the word search grids on social media that say the first 3 words are going to describe your year? Well, that's exactly how I picked my word of the year this year. It was the first word I saw and I immediately knew that it was how I wanted my year to go. What's that word? You're just going to have to listen to the episode to find out... But, we're not just talking about my word of the year (because honestly, do you really care what my word is?!). I'm breaking down how to plan out the first quarter of the year so that this can be YOUR best year ever in business! ----- Got a question?

So, you think work/life balance is a myth? I mean, that's what we're told right -- that there's no such thing as work/life balance. And while yes, you will NEVER have equal amounts of time for both your life + your business... that's just not the reality... It doesn't mean that you can't achieve what work/life balance looks like to you. And thinking that work/life balance is an impossibility is most likely why you're feeling stressed, scattered, overwhelmed, and like you never have enough time to get things done. It's like assuming you can't juggle without dropping a ball. A skilled juggler has to figure out his equilibrium and timing to keep the balls in the air without dropping them. It might be a mess at first and he probably drops the balls A LOT, but eventually, it gets easier and he's no longer just juggling balls, but clubs and sticks of fire! It's a delicate balance, and it's probably going to be messy at first, but once you find a rhythm that works for you, you CAN have the work/life balancee you desire. It's not about avoiding the act of juggling, but refining your technique and embracing the challenge. And I'm sharing the 3 things you NEED to have in order to make that balance a bit easier for you to achieve in our final training. --- Learn more about the Beyond Busyness 12-Week Group Coaching program here >> http://kristenvanhorn.com/beyondbusyness You can listen to day 1 here >> http://kristenvanhorn.com/podcast/seriesday1 You can listen to day 2 here >> http://kristenvanhorn.com/podcast/seriesday2 You can download the companion workbook here >> http://kristenvanhorn.ck.page/podseries

I have a confession to make... I used to think I had to hustle in order to hit my goals in my business. I'm a high achiever and sort of a workaholic when it comes to my business. What can I say, I love what I do. But, after MONTHS of working 7-8 hours a day, opening my laptop up after the kids went to bed, and working instead of watching my kids at gymnastics or soccer practice... I was BURNT OUT. I wanted to watch TV. I wanted to read a book. I wanted to do anything but work HARDER in order to hit my goals. So, let's talk about hustle in Day 1 of this bonus series. --- You can get early access to the episodes and a downloadable workbook to follow along with here >> http://kristenvanhorn.ck.page/podseries

Today on the show, I get to talk to my friend Melissa McKenzie. Melissa is a mom and the co-owner of Carbon and Clay. I absolutely loved getting to chat with Melissa about how she balances both being a busy mom of 5 kids (including an infant she and her husband recently adopted) and running her online website design business. I know you are absolutely going to love this episode about balance, systems, and letting enough be enough! --- Be sure to give Melissa some love over on Instagram and check out Carbon & Clay's beautifully designed Squarespace templates (I used one of their templates for my own site and I am OBSESSED). --- Grab my FREE 4-Day Work Week Blueprint here.

Do you feel busy all the time? Or when you’re not busy, you feel guilty so you FIND something to do? And then because you’re so busy, you feel guilty because you’re not actually spending time on (or with) the things that matter most? This was me right after I quit my job to become a fulltime entrepreneur. I felt the need to be working all the time… like, if I wasn’t working, then I wasn’t making money. But, then my kids would get home from school and I’d be so exhausted that the last thing I wanted to do was actually spend time with them – because I still needed to make dinner, clean the house, and finish what was left on my to-do list. It was an endless cycle of feeling busy, guilty, and overwhelmed – and if I didn’t have something to do, I made myself busy. It wasn’t until I figured out where my time was actually going that things started to click for me. All of a sudden, I had time again.I wasn’t opening my laptop up after the kids went to bed.I wasn’t trying to “disconnect” by scrolling my phone as soon as the kids got home. And best of all, I was actually working LESS and getting more done during that time. Wanna know the secret stop being busy and having more time? You’ll want to listen to this episode! --- Be sure to download your FREE 4-Day Work Week Blueprint: http://kristenvanhorn.com/blueprint Follow Kristen on Instagram + TikTok: @kristenvanhorn_
