how to balance work with relaxation I
got a great question from one of my
newsletter readers Jakob who wrote in to
say hey I mean it seems like you have a
strong type-a personality a real
achiever who works hard
probably sacrifices social life
relaxation for work study like me I feel
like a lot of people that I’m around
don’t really understand this personality
type sometimes leaves me discouraged if
you’ve ever felt this way do you have
any personal advice for embracing this
personality type or balancing work with
relaxation thanks for doing what you do
bro
Thank You Jacob this is a great question
I don’t know if I’ve got it all figured
out you know yes yeah business question
I’m more online but but let me answer it
the best way that I know how okay I find
that for me to be happy I need my own
personal time to relax and do my own
thing I need family time and then I need
my business time and if any of those
gets too out of whack I get unhappy so
if I’m spending too much time in my
business and I don’t have my family time
or personal alone time that then I feel
like I need I need that break that you
know if I’m on vacation and we’re just
sitting out on a beach I get fidgety you
get agitated I want to I have to think
about business you know I miss my
business too much or if I’m alone too
much and I miss the other thing so there
has to be a balance for me and there’s a
range you know it’s not like the same
amount I need ten hours of family time
or whatever it is but there’s a range
and I start to I have to listen to I
guess my body myself and figure out what
something is too far to walk I got to
change it what I would say is it’s
important for the the main person in
your life so I don’t know if you’re
married of a girlfriend or whatever that
person has to be understanding and feel
kind of the same ways you do have to be
understanding of your personality and
support what you’re doing from you know
relationships that I’ve seen typically
if you’re the strong type a
personality usually your partner isn’t
right because if you are both strong
type-a personalities you’re always
fighting I you know I’m not the
relationship expert so I’m sure there’s
more qualified people to talk about that
but but you know I believe the person
that you’re with your life partner
should be somebody who supports what
you’re doing and fits well with your
personality otherwise you’re in for a
lifetime of fighting what I found helps
me in terms of the people so you’re
asking about surrounding yourself with
people who support you I have two groups
of friends and there’s very little
overlap between them I have one group of
friends that are my entrepreneur friends
and and we meet up we talk about
business where we’re gold or Ian Tate
we’re focused we’re driven we’re let’s
go achieve this you know let’s do
something great and I have a group of I
call mastermind group we meet every
every month there’s two groups and and
we sit down we push each other be better
be stronger do something amazing rah rah
rah you know like getting the blood
pumping massive achievement that’s your
type a you know action right there and
then I have my other group of friends
that are salsa friends and I’ll spend
like 20 hours a week in the salsa
community dancing DJing teaching
sometimes and salsa people are the exact
opposite at least here there can I say
lazier they’re lazier they’re not as
responsible they more chill laid-back
don’t show up to things on time which is
the complete opposite of my entrepreneur
friends and so I balanced it you know
some weeks I’m spending a lot more time
doing salsa when I just need a break you
need to relax I don’t want to think
about all the craziness that that is the
business and I’ll hang out with those
people the source of people who just you
know just fun time and relax and then
you know from feeling too relaxed and I
need to go do something and need some
energy I’ll go hang out with my
entrepreneur friends and and we’ll talk
business and we’ll get excited and we’ll
help each other’s companies and we’ll
get
new things that we can even if I’m
talking about it I’m speaking faster I’m
more energetic and so I think you need
to balance those out and you know you
have to find whatever ratio works for
you
you know the people you surround
yourself with you have a choice so these
are your friends you have a choice of
who you hang out with it sounds like you
have a lot of the people who are the
chill lead back kind of people so you
have that covered off you may want to
find people who are more ambitious ready
to go you know Drive drive our goal
forward make things happen kind of
people and you can even form your own
group or look for an existing group to
join because getting that other group to
kind of motivate you and surround
yourself with will help you cover off
that side of your personality and then
when you’re ready to chill and relax you
have your other friends to help you out
too anyway that’s how it works for me
hopefully that helped you Jacob great
