This month I have been strategically speaking about and writing about Life Balance and the importance why having a balanced life is a critical part of your strategic thought process in planning and determining how you spend your time and construct your business. There is a secret aspect to living a balanced life style. It is something that really cannot be explained it just has to be experienced. Many of us, as entrepreneurs, are seeking the secret or the magic answer to the road to success. Living a balanced life is one of these secrets and here is why.
Once you fully embrace the other areas of your life, which are broader than work and family, you will find people who you will connect with. These are often people you otherwise would have never met. Or if you met at a standard ‘networking’ event you each may have had another persona out in front and may not have connected.
Now, let us say for example, you are both collecting tickets for the charity fundraiser; you are connecting in a different way. As the time together goes on taking the tickets you each learn about your families, why you volunteer, and what each of your businesses are about. Little did each of you know you are perfect clients for each other! OR connectors for each other! OR you each have a good client to immediately introduce to one another.
This is not why we choose to enter into a Life of Balance. It is the secret that reveals itself from embracing a balanced life! Make sense? Don’t believe this is true? I know personally how many people I have connected with in this manner. Just don’t go into the process seeking this secret. Allow it to happen and it will. The reasons for your Life Balance equation are personal and the rewards and benefits are for you and your family and your loved ones. The rest will take care of itself.
A word of caution – In no way am I suggesting you ignore the practices necessary to run a successful business. You must have your focus, your strategy, your plan right in front of you all the time. Do not forget it.

Mitch, I love your message about balance! And it is so true what you say — you can’t force the magic! It has to flow… ~ Carmen
Carmen,
Thank you. You know all about that magic too!
Mitch
I so believe that all we do as business owners is part of the whole of us, there are no separate hard and fast lines – you are right on, Mitch.
Sue,
Thank you!
Mitch
This is such a great post Mitch! One of my favorites of yours. You are so right on two fronts; balance for the sake of one’s own healthy life and balance to attract situations and people. Remembering that attraction can’t be forced!

Lynn,
Appreciate the compliment!

Mitch,
I am always so surprised by the number of people who put a plan in place but never take action. I used to see it often when I’d create strategic advertising plans for clients that included marketing elements they had to execute in addition to the mainstream media placement, creation and buys I handled for them. Many times the advertising would be running like clockwork yet the marketing arm had been neglected because the plan was conveniently tucked away and not revisited.
It is vital that people review and then take action in accordance to their plans for business and for life. 🙂 Great topic.
Write on!~

Lisa,
Right, so you definitely see what I am writing about, thanks.

It’s truly very difficult in this busy life to
listen news on Television, therefore I just use
internet for that reason, and take the most up-to-date news.
