Protect Your Peace

Your most valuable asset isn't your title and it isn't your revenue, it's your peace. When I wrote Boundaries and Bullshit, it wasn't as a therapist or motivational speaker, it was as somebody who has been in the trenches. I've seen leaders burn out because they give everything to everyone else.I have burnt out more times than I can count, and I'm not talking the I'm exhausted and over this kind of burnout, I'm talking hair falling out, cortisol bottoming out, nervous system shock kind of burnout. Protecting your peace isn't selfish, it's strategic. You can't pour from an empty cup, and you can't lead effectively when your boundaries are so porous, you're bleeding through them.Excellence includes enforcing standards in your calendar, your relationships, and your business decisions. Saying no to things that drain you allows you to say yes to opportunities that align with your mission. High net worth entrepreneurs often feel obligated to be available 24-7.It's literally almost an addiction. But the most successful ones I have coached are ruthless about who gets access to their time and attention. Guarding your peace is the first step towards sustainable success. Protect your peace by tuning in to the Pursuit of Excellence.
