Becoming the Architect of Your Ideal Schedule The Prosperous Empath® Podcast

    • Careers

As I’m recording this solo episode of the Prosperous Empath®, I’m enjoying a week with no client calls & focusing entirely on working on my business instead of working in it. I block off my calendar like this every last week of the month and instantly feel more spacious and creative. This got me thinking about one of the most popular topics I discuss with clients: Becoming the architect of your ideal schedule. When you’re a 9-5 employee, being busy is celebrated as a sign that you’re a hard worker or an overachiever, while embracing leisure is frowned upon. When you transition into entrepreneurship and become the CEO of your own schedule, the “busy” mindset has to shift. Why? Because as an entrepreneur, so much of your success is who you’re being and how you’re showing up - instead of how booked your schedule is. In this episode, I’ll unpack the idea of transforming your relationship with time as you grow & evolve and how it’s one of the most challenging (and necessary) mindset shifts to make as an entrepreneur. You’ll walk away with practical strategies on how to lean into CEO thinking, change your perspective, and master your time.
 
Topics:
How to shift your mindset from being a 9-5 employee to becoming the architect of your ideal schedule as an entrepreneur How to create energetic space in your calendar & mind to allow for big, intuitive, and courageous thinking to emerge Exploring the idea that your ideal schedule as an entrepreneur is going to evolve & look different depending on the season of business that you’re in  Looking at time management as self-management and allowing yourself to invite more leisure, idleness, and pleasure into your life How to build a schedule that works for you & prioritizes your energy instead of the energy of other people
