Is It YOUR Time To Jump? Business Unveiled
-
- Entrepreneurship
Have you ever had a nightmare where you wake up in cold sweats in a panic totally disoriented? I’ll never EVER forget the first morning I didn’t show up for work…the night before I went to a Jessica Simpson concert. And let’s just say there were too many pitchers of margaritas ordered.
Sooooo, you won’t be shocked when I tell you I forgot to set my alarm to wake up for work the next day. And I am not one of those people that wakes up naturally.
I honestly don’t even remember going to bed that night.
Now, this is when I was in healthcare and worked at the hospital, not a business owner (this was over two decades ago and it’s never happened since). I OVER SLEPT. Which to me, was a nightmare!!
I woke up to my cell phone ringing. My boss (at the time) had called more than 25 times. I had not shown up to work yet and was two hours late. I missed two important meetings that I was supposed to start my boss’s presentation (she didn’t know how to work the projector, etc…that’s because I did her presentation and was the “tech” girl that hooked everything up).
I don’t know if it was because I was hung over, or because of the phone call that just woke me up out of a dead sleep.
After telling my boss I am so sorry and was feeling sick, she screamed at me and told me that I better get to work that people/patients were counting on me. And she was counting on me. I
ruined her morning meeting because I wasn’t there to hook up all the “tech” stuff. I didn’t work in IT department either. I hung up the phone and vomited everywhere. All over the floor. All over my bed. And I left it all. Took a shower and drove to work. I pulled over twice to vomit.
I will never forget how she handled it and HOW it made me feel. It was the way she delivered the message to me. She did not even ask if I was ok. What if I was dead in a ditch some where (which I don’t think that way). Let’s just say it was the icing on the cake.
It was time to jump. That’s what we are chatting about today at Best Little Hair House, with Karissa Paulk, in Nashville, TN.
*Take away points*

My personal favorite take away was the 1 hr ADHD rule that our guest today is going to share. So let’s escape for 35 min. and dive in….
What is your #1 Time suck? What are you doing about it?
Too large of a to do list between personal and business owning, prioritizing lists and making sure to schedule time for things that feed the soul.
How do you manage your time? How do you make sure that you are productive?
Lists, I have lists for days. Plus I have a 1 hour rule at home.
Let’s crush some myths, what is a common myth about your industry, area of business?
1. You can’t make a great living
2. In order to make a great living you have to double book and triple book, work 6 days a week, etc.
What is the biggest challenge you’re facing in your role/business/project right now and how are you tackling it?
Time management - prioritizing is key and keeping calendars and lists updated.
In your opinion, what is the most important personality trait/strength someone would need to work in your industry/be successful in your job?
Being driven, this is not an industry for the lazy
Who has been your most important professional mentor? What have they shared with you that you still use in your business today?
