As an entrepreneur of course I want work to be flowing in at all times, I thrive under pressure when so many things are going on at once & we're supposed to take care of it all.
But the slow days are equally important, especially because there's so much that you can plan for your growth, something you may miss in the constant hustle. Plus the slow days really teach you a thing or two about patience being the mother of all virtues.
That wait, that tension, that feeling of being uninspired, wondering when is the next project gonna come in, all of that is important too, it makes you realise what are the things that really matter to you, you know?
And these trying times really test your leadership skills too, and decision making is so challenging when you're this uncertain about things yourself.
Showing up and ticking off things on the to-do list are acts of courage on days when the lull threatens to bring you down, when all that you want to do is sleep and not take any decisions or be responsible for anyone.
But then you realise you've got a dream to grow,you want to do this for yourself & for everyone who's supporting you...if this isn't a beautiful journey I don't know what is.I once made a choice to work for myself, & I am proud of making it happen,even on the bad days. #founder

A company that promotes #worklifebalance does not mean to say that the work will be easy, or that the workload will be minimal.
They want you to know that they support your growth & understand that you are not required to hustle 24/7 or be available all the time, PROVIDED ...
you manage your time & establish boundaries to wrap up work within the work hours.
Work life balance does not mean you are given the freedom to give up your responsibilities. In fact, it asks you to be more responsible, it means being a certain level of proactive so that you can claim your time. It's TOUGH work.
