“I Have to Sacrifice Myself for Success”
So many of us have achieved success in life by sacrificing our own time, heath and personal needs.
And it then makes sense for us to think that to maintain the success that we must keep putting ourselves last.
And…
That’s bullshit. Often when we have created some success in our careers we get stuck thinking that we must keep sacrificing at this level to be seen as the powerhouse work horse that can handle long hours and unimaginable stress.
We don’t. There comes a point where you bring more value to your organization, company or business venture than you once did and you can put in less time because you have greater impact.
Here is a story of how my client challenged the status quo and asked for what he wanted from his CFO so he could start to take his life back and get healthier.
For him it took changing beliefs about his work life and seeing his full value. Then it took the courage to have a bold conversation, which involved real risk.
Are you sacrificing your health or personal life to create career success? Is it time to change that pattern and create the life you love?
