b'
In this episode, Catherine shares her experience of having 2 children under 2 and running multiple businesses.
\\nMany entrepreneurs are in this position and Catherine has put together practical advice that can be implemented immediately for anyone seeking a work, life and family balance.
\\nThe focus is on really thinking about your ‘why’, time restraints and gaining balance. Entrepreneurs stop being employees in order to achieve a better balance so listen in and find out how to move closer to yours.
\\n\\n
KEY TAKEAWAYS
\\nGetting the balance right is important whatever position you are in and these tips will ensure you are creating the necessary balance between your business, family and personal life.
\\nAim to keep business and family time separate
\\nBe present when you are with family and make sure you are not distracted. It\'s important that when you are with your family they are the centre of your focus.
\\nTime does fly
\\nTime goes quickly and it is precious. Remember to enjoy the journey and process along the way.
\\nHave you and your partner play to your strengths and divide the roles
\\nMake sure you are playing to your strengths and bring in others to both enhance your strengths and help in areas within the business where you are less skilled.
\\nTake all the help that is offered
\\nJust say yes, there are many reasons why you might say no – pride, thinking you can do it all.
\\nIf you are offered help in the form of a mentor, childcare or time then say yes and remember to ask for help when you need it.
\\nRemember your ‘why’
\\nWhy are you building a business? Why are you doing what you are doing every day? It\'s important to enjoy the journey and the process but remember to switch off.
\\nIf it\'s about living a leveraged lifestyle, having time with your children and living the life that you want it’s important to remember that’s your ‘why’
\\nNo one has got this stuff 100% sorted out
\\nWhether it\'s running a business, raising a family or all of the above, no one has it all figured out go with the flow do what you need to do now, tomorrow is another day.
\\nIt’s all about leverage
\\nLeverage as much as you can. Whatever the area, at work or at home you can get jobs completed by someone else and use technology to make tasks quicker and more efficient.
\\nIt’s all about separating time and creating the balance, you are your business owner and you get to choose.

ABOUT THE HOST
\\nCatherine Turner
\\nCatherine is an iTunes No.1 podcast host of Leveraged Lifestyle, entrepreneur, businesswoman, an Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Co-Director of Ideal-Collective.com and a mum of 2!
\\nCatherine quit being an employee in 2013, after working more than 50+ hours on average a week, over 3 jobs. Jobs, hours and a lifestyle which led to a diagnosis of clinical depression before the age of 25.
\\nIn 2011/12 Catherine discovered the power of investing in property, and tried many different property investment strategies over the years, finally settling on Serviced Accommodation in 2015, which has now grown from one unit in her home town of Chelmsford, Essex to over 50 across the UK, helping investors, landlords and developers create a better return on their money or property.
\\nThis year, Catherine and her husband Stephen, also her business partner, joined forces with the Directors of LoLite Homes to create the Ideal-Collective.com, which is all about leveraging the services and knowledge of all four Directors when it comes to Serviced Accommodation, Social Media, Finance & Virtual Assistants.
\\nCatherine started Leveraged Lifestyle podcast to give business owners and those not leading their ideal lifestyle, to learn the mindset and skill set it takes to create a lifestyle of Freedom, by leveraging time, money & knowledge and using outsourcing and systemisation.
