Greetings ,
tl;dr We need better frameworks to talk about how to thrive in business and in life.
A Mental Model for Building a Business That Runs on More Than Time and Money
We’ve been taught to measure everything in business by two resources: time and money. But there’s a third—and it’s the one no one teaches you how to manage: energy.
Most systems and strategies assume that if you just allocate your time better or budget your money smarter, success will follow. But anyone who’s ever tried to push through burnout, decision fatigue, or creative blocks knows—those two resources are useless if you don’t have the energy to use them.
That’s where The Energy Equation comes in.
Beyond Hustle and Grind: How to Create a Business That Supports Your Well-Being
The "hustle harder" mentality is often glorified in the entrepreneurial world. But constantly pushing yourself to the limit can lead to burnout, stress, and ultimately, a decline in your business performance.
Remember: Your well-being is a crucial resource for your business.
This week, focus on creating a business that supports your well-being:
- Prioritize sleep. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep per night. It's essential for physical and mental recovery.
- Move your body regularly. Even a short walk or yoga session can boost your energy and creativity.
- Nourish yourself with healthy foods. Fuel your body with nutrient-rich foods that support your brain function and overall health.
When you take care of yourself, you're taking care of your business. A healthy entrepreneur is a thriving entrepreneur.
