While “executing” my morning routine, I realized my crack of dawn habit was messed up. Designed to fuel, energize, and sustain me, it did little to prepare me for the day ahead.
I run hard throughout the day. Besides being a business coach, I’m a business owner, wife, house and yard manager, chef, housekeeper, sister, aunt, grandma, godmother, and friend. It’s exhilarating…and exhausting.
Working longer hours creates more work than it accomplishes.
There! I’ve said it and there’s no take backs.
It reminds me of a lecture I attended sometime in the early 80’s (likely before you were born). Judge Ziglar, Zig Ziglar’s brother, was speaking at an event in Fargo, ND. (Yes, people who hail from Fargo do sound like the movie.)
Fit is a term that describes a variety of things.
It’s an acronym that stands for “federal income tax” or “free independent traveler.”
It’s a verb of the right shape and size. “My jeans still fit.”
Most commonly, fit describes a condition of good health, particularly due to regular physical exercise. “I walk daily to stay fit.”
Perhaps the most applicable definition of fit as it applies to entrepreneurs is of a suitable quality, standard, or type to meet the required purpose. The most important of these as it relates to entrepreneurship is “to meet the required purpose.”
