Busy, high-achieving entrepreneurs are super-focused individuals with lots of drive. And that amazing grit can also lead us to become single-minded. And this can easily lead to a domino effect of neglecting our personal lives and wellbeing. 

In this blog post I’ll share: 

-Five life hacks for busy high-achieving entrepreneurs that will unlock more joy and freedom

- Must-have strategy to help implement life hacks for freedom and satisfaction

As high-achieving entrepreneurs, it’s important to remember that even though we are super passionate about our business and we absolutely love what we do, our business can not feed all facets of our lives!

Five life hacks for busy high-achieving entrepreneurs that will unlock more joy and freedom:

1 - Automate everything:

As a high-achieving busy business owner, you’re already familiar with the practice of automatization inside your business. And now it’s time to start doing this for your life as well! Review the products and services that you regularly order online and subscribe to a specific delivery/order schedule that fits your needs. 

By doing this, you’ll save yourself time, energy, and possibly money as well. You’ll also free up sacred brainpower, as you’ll free yourself from decision fatigue and having to remember additional tasks. 

2 - Advance schedule everything: 

My high-achieving clients often get frustrated that they don’t have time to tend to the basics of everyday life, like getting their hair cut, going to the dentist, etc.

The best way to combat this, is to start booking your appointments out for the future. I call this “advance scheduling,” and what this means is that you book your next appointment for hair, dentist, doctor while you’re at your current appointment. My massages are booked out for the remainder of the year (and have been since April.) By doing this – I’ve created automated accountability to stick to a self-care routine to nurture my body, and I’ve also freed up time that would have been wasted thinking about having to book the appointment and booking the appointment.

You are your business's biggest asset, and ensuring that you take care of your health and needs is essential to ensuring the future growth of your business growth and existence. 

3 - Get local vendors:

To further help you save time as a busy entrepreneur, cut down on commute time to appointments by selecting businesses in your area. 

This will simplify your life, free up time,  and you’ll get to support your local community and potentially form relationships that can help you grow your business.

4 - Book social dates: 

When things get crazy in our businesses, it’s easy to start neglecting our social needs. Running a business is already a lonely and isolating affair, don’t make it harder on yourself by not making time to see your friends. 

Having strong social bonds is extremely important for our mental health and well-being, so it’s crucial that you allow yourself to have nurturing fun with dear ones.

Start making a few plans with your core friends, and then use the advanced scheduling method to create a regular catch-up schedule with them! 

5 - Time block vacations:

As a high-achieving entrepreneur, you already know how quickly your entire calendar can fill up with tasks that can feel urgent (but can easily be outsourced!) However – it becomes less and less likely that you’ll allow yourself time off once those projects are on the calendar. 

To ensure that you allow yourself much-needed vacations - block off and book trips well in advance. 

As your holiday time approaches – start planning and delegating tasks to your team and ensure that they’re all set to handle things while you’re away. 

Vacations are great ways to stress test your business, team’s management skills, and systems and make improvements that will allow more freedom and flexibility in the future.
