These 8 hours separate those who want from those who do...

I always ask people, tell me your schedule?

And they go

Well, you know, I go to work and I work from 9:00 to 5:00 and I come home and I'm exhausted. And so, when am I going to start a business?

I said well what about the other eight hour shift?

I use that time to sleep

You sleep 16 hours?! That's what the 3rd 8 hour shift is for. Like, I get it, sleep is super important for health... but sleeping 16 hours a day means you are asleep for 8 months out of the year—that's 6.67 years unconscious every decade!

Hmm, do these people not have a life or a family?

Family is so important. You work 8, sleep 8—what about the other 8? That's your opportunity shift. Even if it's only 4 hours, don't squander it. Some tough choices need to be made for long-term gains. Live like no one else now so your family can live like no one else later. Our people deserve our best effort.

I’ll sleep when I’m dead……or maybe when the 5 kids are gone 😂

7 to 8 hours quality sleep is super important, but I hear you! 🚀

I'm wondering why we have this obsession with starting a business. People want to 'not have a boss' and don't realize that when you have a small business you don't have one boss you have a dozen.

I think the real issue here is that too many people are working jobs that don't appeal to them. Jobs that don't feed their soul at all. It's a miss match, but opening a business isn't necessarily the solution.

💯 Not everyone is cut out to be a business owner. Many find it far more harmonious, fulfilling, and less stressful to work for others.

This post was for people who feel the calling to own their own businesses—it could be a micro-business run from a laptop in Costa Rica with one VA, a small business with employees, or something bigger.

But if you feel that calling, consider what those 8 hours could create—not just for you, but for everyone who needs what you have to offer.
