If you own your own business, then you are a mentor to others who know you who want to own their own business too. You may not even realize that others are watching you. Therefore, since you are a leader, it is important for you to take care of yourself in the area of personal improvement and development. For example, how is your health? Are you taking care of your health?
When evaluating your health you should think about such things as your weight, your blood pressure, your cholesterol, and whether you can move around easily. Another thing to consider is how much energy you have day to day. Wouldn't it be nice to have even twenty or thirty percent more energy than you currently have?
You see, great performances (pursuing your career, caring for your loved ones, weekend sports, dating your spouse, playing with your kids, improving your health, living a life of purpose) are not about expending as much energy as possible continuously for long periods of time. No. Great performances are about the ability to expend energy at very high levels for finite periods of time, offset by periods of rest and renewal.
Great performances come from within. By owning your own change, you become PROactive with your life instead of REactive. It takes focus. The problem in the world we live in is that focus, our undivided attention, is under siege. We have never had so many ways to distract ourselves - email, texting, facebook, twitter, blogging, LinkedIn, TV, and on and on the list could go.
So what you need to do is to develop the habit of delaying quick gratification and instead be content to wait for long term gratification. Do not give up what you want the most for what you want right now. Keep your eye on the end; keep your eye on the prize for which you are working.
This is your time to act boldly and take action in your own life. Go a different way. Get on a different road. Your self esteem will increase, your confidence will rise and your productivity will sky rocket!
