A little win: It’s May 14th, and today’s my first work trip of the entire year.
When I started my business, I traveled a ton for work. In 2019, I gave talks on four continents. It felt like I lived at JFK.
All those talks were really important as I was building the business — they brought in a lot of new clients. But over the years, my priorities changed. The business is stable. I’m booked with client work. And most importantly: I love living where I live and spending time with my family.
I decided last year: If I’m going to get on a plane, it better be for something really good.
Saying no to some other opportunities means I can say yes to the stuff I really want to make time for.
