b'Work will always be there, so make time for experiences that truly light you up\\nHaving passion for your business is a good thing. Afterall, your excitement and enthusiasm is quite literally the fuel that keeps the wheels in motion, and gets you through hard times.\\nBut whether you\\u2019re new to the entrepreneurial game or have already found success, there may come a time when you get so wrapped up in your business that everything else in your life falls to the wayside.\\xa0\\nMaybe you stop hanging out with your friends, taking vacations, or spending time doing the things that you love or exploring new hobbies outside of work.\\nOr, if you\\u2019re like me, maybe you come to the stark -- and somewhat embarrassing \\u2013 realization that without your business, you\\u2019re not even sure who you are. You don\\u2019t have any hobbies to talk about, and can\\u2019t remember the last time you did something \\u2018just for fun.\\u2019\\nIn fact, during my five-week sabbatical, I became acutely aware that the core of my being -- my entire identity -- is almost solely tied to the success of my business.\\xa0\\nThe whole experience gave me a reality check that left me feeling a bit sad and empty. Of course my business brings me joy -- but it\\u2019s important that I have other things, outside of work, that make me happy and give me purpose.\\nIn this episode, I uncover how I\\u2019m making room in my life for those moments and experiences that light me up, outside of Amy Porterfield, Inc.\\nAnd I won\\u2019t lie -- taking the time to do fun things when I feel like I have a million plates spinning in the air can be tough\\u2026 but I know deep down that it\\u2019s worth it.\\xa0\\nSo if you have ever been asked the question, \\u201cWhat do you do for fun?\\u201d and have had a hard time coming up with an answer, this episode is for you.\\xa0\\nHappy listening!\\nP.S.- If you want to hear more about the many realizations I had during my sabbatical, check out episode #478: 5 Weeks Unplugged: Lessons From My Sabbatical.\\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
