Are you a business owner feeling trapped, exhausted and deferring 'life' until 'later'?
In The Carpe Diem Way Andy shares the five powerful steps, tools, simple systems, and the mindset to completely change the way you live life as a business owner.
Imagine if.....
- you could live more, work less, feel healthier and happier;
- do the things you're dreaming of now while your body is still able and you're earning a living;
- you could spend more time with the people that matter.
It is possible.
You don't need to have an online business to work from anywhere and make TIME for LIFE. This book shows you how to operate your business and live your life now.
The case studies will show you how The Carpe Diem Way works in real life.
I share the real-life journey that led me-not totally intentionally-to understand that there is no such thing as work-life balance. There is only life. I share how transitioning my successful conference and event management business to operate from anywhere not only changed the way I work, it changed the way I live.
There is no perfect starting point, and I'm going to prove this to you by sharing the story of Justine, a successful business owner with a young child.
An ex-corporate turned sole trader, Justine thought she had it all worked out, until she realised that by juggling a young child, contract work, board responsibility and a coaching business, she'd fallen back into the 'busy means successful' trap.
Going from a seven-day workweek with little time for her family to a four-day workweek with flexibility has transformed life for Justine. She now chooses when to work, where to work, and when to make time for family and her own wellbeing.
The processes I cover in the book work for those with families, those with staff, and those with bricks and mortar businesses. The degree to which you implement each piece of the process will depend on what you choose to let go of.
The common denominator with all the people I have worked with however is this: the deep desire to live more and work less whilst still being effective and feeling successful.
I share the five steps that contain the tools, strategies and mindset that these people put in place to make it happen:
Step 1 - The Foundation
Step 2 - Anywhere, anytime, any device
Step 3 - Getting the processes out of your head
Step 4 - Day-to-day operations from anywhere
Step 5 - Make TIME for LIFE.
You can customise each step to fit your personal situation.
But it's not only about business systems. By the time you get to the end of the book, you'll be on your own path to living The Carpe Diem Way.
Remember - you don't need to have an online business to work from anywhere and make TIME for LIFE.
