Three Tips F O R L I V I NG A N D W O R K I NG I N T E N T I O N A L LY | BY L E I G H A G R A F
1- Use the rear view mirror. - Take time every now and then to really reflect on where you have been, lessons you have learned and anything you might want to change. In order to truly carve out the life that is true to us, we can learn a lot from where we have been. 2- Where do you want to be in 5, 10, 15 years? - What do you want your life as a whole to look like? As independent business owners, the world is our oyster, so to speak. We have complete freedom to live the life we imagined. That is incredible. However, the funny thing is, sometimes this is really, really hard. There is no one else to set our hours or tell us what projects to work on, and if we aren’t careful, we can end up with no structure, floating through our days and frustrated with where we are. 3- Margins are good. - Is there anyone else out there that is a little of an “all or nothing” personality? This is one of my biggest lessons in all aspects of my life. If I allowed myself, I would be a burnt out work-a-holic, living off of Cheetos and chocolate. Grace is a good thing. Rest is a good thing.
