Leadership is not a popularity contest. In business as in life, it’s not always the good guy who wins, it’s the person who makes the good decisions.

Business leaders are forced to make choices every day, as you know. Some of those decisions will prove to be highly successful and innovative; some will dissipate into thin air; some may cause dissention in the ranks, while others may have staff believing they have a chimpanzee in the CEO’s office.

In the current dynamic and rapidly evolving business world, decisions often have to be made rapidly and without the benefit of a strategic agenda for managing change.

Therefore, to enable every form of management to act with agility and clarity in the face of opportunities or risks to that business, a precise, rapid-fire, and manageable decision-making action plan needs to be implemented. This applies to every form of business, from small and mid-size companies to large corporations.

In most cases, the decision makers don’t have the luxury of a “wait and see” policy. In that time, multi-million dollar opportunities have been and gone.

A recent survey of corporate executives by a faculty of the Harvard Business School found that an enormous shift has occurred in the policy making decisions of those responsible for signing off on the expansion and profit potential of corporate America.

The survey indicated that 59% of executives in strategic planning roles had adopted new decision-making agendas to meet the economy’s need for rapid change and their company’s desire to remain at the cutting edge of advancement and acquisition policies.

The research findings suggested that 10 points are necessary to provide the required maneuverability and flexibility required to keep pace in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

Today we are talking about Idea #5 of the 5 ideas to help you attain even better work life balance, which is to understand that the word “No” is powerful and is your friend!

Please learn to say “no” to work and life events that you simply don’t want to do, don’t have time to do, or that won’t forward your life or career goals. You don’t have to be mean about the “no.” You can say, “Thank you, but no. I just don’t have the time or bandwidth for this right now.” Remember, you can always say, YES, later, if you still want to do it.

Everyone has demands on life and work that compete with and overlap one another. The way in which you deal with them will go a long way in helping you achieve that work life balance you seek. If you are trying to achieve a work life balance and are struggling with it, know that it’s not a one-and-done, a work life balance is a work in progress.

Over the past 5 days we have explored 5 ideas to help you attain even better work life balance. Consider implementing one or more of these ideas if you need to have even better work life balance.

Today we are talking about Idea #4 to help you attain even better work life balance, which is the fact that you need down time.

Schedule time for yourself. If you’re not practicing personal care you cannot be the best version of yourself for your family or your clients. Grab time in your calendar just for you – whether you go to a spa, meditate during lunch, walk the dog, or go for coffee with a friend – you need that time in which you have no demands on your energies.

Tune in tomorrow for idea #5 that can help you have even better work life balance.

Today we are talking about Idea #3 to help you attain even better work life balance, which is to ask yourself, What are my priorities?

Just as important as knowing what your priorities are is knowing why they are important. Before you leave your office, or go to bed at night, take a few moments to plan your following day. Look back at what you’ve accomplished today and assess its impact on your work and your life. How did you spend your time? Did you spend it wisely? Were there parts of your day that lifted you up and made you smile and parts that had you shaking your head and wondering what went wrong? When you prioritize, then analyze how your priorities were met, you can better see if your day was productive and effective or if you squandered time on tasks that didn’t forward your dream of a work life balance.

Today we are talking about Idea #2 to help you attain even better work life balance, which is to just let it go.

Being a perfectionist and trying to be everything to everyone is a recipe for disaster and burn out. If you’re feeling stressed in your personal life, you need to delve deeper into what those stressors are. The same goes for your work life; what is adding to your stress? Once you know what your stressors are, you can take steps to find those items you can simply let go of. Are there items that simply do not matter in the big picture? If so, cut them loose. The more items you can let go of (and that may mean delegating work or home tasks to others) the more balanced your life will be.

Today we are talking about Idea #1 to help you attain even better work life balance, which is that you need to have clear boundaries.

Even if you work from a home office you need to set office hours – this is for your clients and your family. Clients need to appreciate that you’re not on call 24-hours a day. Family needs to understand that between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm you’re working and shouldn’t be disturbed. These boundaries need to apply to your technology as well. Even if you’ve closed the literal door on your office, if you have your smart phone continually within reach, you will be distracted and tempted to check social media and emails and your work may again bleed into your home and family life.

Life is in continual motion. There seems to be a blur between life and work and that is especially true for an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs, it seems, have a harder time separating work and life and home; they feel they need to be always available and always in “client search mode” as well as running the business.

Are there secrets to attaining a work life balance? They aren’t exactly secrets, but sometimes in the hustle and bustle of life, we forget to breathe, and we allow our work and lifelines to coincide. Now is the time to take a step back and untangle those lines and get back to a better balance.

It is important to find a balance that makes both life and work fulfilling and enjoyable. If you don’t, you risk burnout in both areas of your life. Keep in mind that you won’t likely notice a large sign that lets you know your life and work are out of balance. The imbalance usually happens slowly and subtly, until you get to the point where you’re not functioning well in either aspect of your life.

Over the next 5 days, we will explore 5 ways I’ve learned that can help you attain a more balanced work and life environment. So, tune in tomorrow for idea #1.
