Good morning, friends, I touched on a topic yesterday, I got a lot of feedback, and so I wanted to dove into the idea that there are certain seasons that are designed for a pace and a productivity level that you know you’re not going to be able to sustain for the long term. When a professional athlete is ready for game day, they are mentally preparing themselves to push their bodies at 100% for a three to four hour period. They also know that after the game is done, they will be resting and recouping for probably at least twice that time. LeBron James plays a basketball game and is on the court for approximately three and a half hours. He spends about the next eight to ten hours icing his body, stretching and recovering from all that effort. As an entrepreneur, you can set yourself up to where you have a certain season of your life, where you are going to be pushing yourself at a high level that you know you’re not going to look to sustain. I do not recommend working more than 50 hours a week for a long period of time. However, when you have to hustle, when you know this is harvest season, I got a push, then you give it that extra effort knowing that you’ll be able to take a break.
