EP088: One Day Will Never, Ever Come

Vicky and Joe sit down with their cold beer and talk about work-life balance. Long gone are the days where Vicky is stressed and overworked, right? Well, not quite. Vicky admits on the podcast that it's difficult for her to take a step back and try and not do 'all the things'. Her Monday to-do lists are often a mile long and there's only so much one can do in a day. So, how does she get work done vs. live the life that she wants? Find out on this week's episode. Key Takeaways: [1:45] There is no such thing as 'one day' – the only day that exists is today. [4:00] How does Vicky manage to do so much work? Answer: No sleep, cocaine, and sugar. [5:35] This podcast episode has been inspired by a podcast episode Vicky heard on The Copywriter Club podcast. [6:45] Vicky has so many things to do, and sometimes, it stresses her out. [9:00] Vicky is doing a bit of a workload restructuring right now so she doesn't feel overwhelmed. [11:00] With all that being said, we so often hear people having that 'hustle' and being on 'Team No Sleep', but this mentality is toxic, and frankly, not healthy. [13:30] We spend 18 years of our lives, sometimes more, being trained on how to be an employee. [16:40] 'Being an entrepreneur' was never an option for Vicky when she was growing up, and she's seeing the same thing happen with today's youth. [20:35] When things don't go well, we end up working harder. Sometimes, we need to take a step back and not work harder, but work on the things that will give us results. [24:30] So, take a step back and think about the bigger picture. What do you want your life to look like? [29:40] Don't build the business first, and then build your life. Build your life first, have the life you want first!
