When you\u2019re the boss, every month you\u2019re an employee of the month. But if you\u2019re really and truly honest with yourself, are you really working as hard as you could? Are you using the excuse of \u201chustling\u201d to work through your family\u2019s dinner because you\u2019re really dragging yourself out of bed every day?\n If I\u2019m going, to be honest, lately I\u2019ve been wasting a lot of my time reading the news and catching up on stuff. Really, it\u2019s not good for me. I\u2019m not even watching things that feed my soul, but just a never-ending cycle of news from all of my favorite news networks.\n By the time dinner rolls around, I\u2019m scrambling to play catch up with the rest of my day. I didn\u2019t get started on time, so I couldn\u2019t get everything done that I needed to. Instead of pausing to focus on my family, I have to work through dinner to finish all of my work.\n We forget those basic work principles sometimes as entrepreneurs. All of that \u201cearly to bed, early to rise\u201d stuff goes out the window when we can write our own schedule. I mean, that\u2019s why we want to be entrepreneurs in the first place!\n You don\u2019t have to hustle your face off, but you do need to get out of bed already. Start your day early. Get your work done before dinner. Maybe even spend a little bit of time in the Good Book and feed your soul a little.\n If you want to make your family a priority, you\u2019ll need to build your life around that schedule. Be the kind of employee who really deserves the employee of the month plaque, every single month.\n What\u2019s Inside:\n \u2014We forget about those basic work principles sometimes as entrepreneurs.\n \u2014Focus on what you can control, and it\u2019s not the news.\n \u2014Get up early and read good stuff.\n \u2014Be careful what you feed into your mind.\n \u2014Make time for your family and your kids.
