SUMMARY:
——————–

How do you balance taking care of yourself and others without sacrificing your dreams or suffering burning out? Here are four strategies:

1. Focus on your circle of influence:

With all the texts, emails and requests you get every day, it can feel like you have to reply to everybody. But you don’t. Instead, be incredibly clear about who are the people in your life you most deeply care for and those who need your greatest amount of quality time, service or leadership. These are the priorities in your circle of influence and you should give those people the most focused attention. Learn to say no to anyone not inside your circle, at least at first until you know you won’t overcommit yourself at the cost of your circle and yourself. Don’t let random people or their false emergencies knock you off path from serving those you’ve already committed to.

2. Stop micromanaging and start empowering:

You don’t have to do everything for others. People don’t need to be micromanaged. When you switch your mindset from needing to take care of everybody and every little thing for them, to empowering others to take care of themselves, you get massive amounts of time back and a renewed sense of control and aliveness in your own life. If you choose to help people, as quickly as possible set them up to win without you. That must be your strategy from the outset.

3. Automate more:

Outsource or automate things that don’t matter, bring you joy, need your unique focus and attention. The tiny things you *think* you have to do can usually be automated or handled by others or modern tools, apps and systems. Once you set up the little things to run automatically, you save time and can return to what matters most.

4. Give people quality time:

What people want from us isn’t all our time; they want the time they have with us to matter. They want their interactions with us to be authentic, energized, heartfelt. When you’re with people, make sure you give them quality time. Giving someone just twenty minutes of full attention and energy is worth four hours of half-hearted attention. Make the time you have with others count.

  1. Amen!! Quality time over quantity. I tell people be present. Get off their phone or whatever their doing and engage with their love ones. It means a lot when you know someone is a good listener. Then friendship, relationship blossoms to even more. I appreciate this video!! Thanks Brandon!

  2. I typed "why do I care so much about people" and all I found was "how to stop thinking about what people think." I was losing hope for finding a video to help me, but then I found this…
    STORYTIME!! X'D
    At the fast food restaurant i work at, there's so many people I want to see happy. Today was especially stressful for everyone since there was a food shortage and we were running out of everything. And all around me, the impact of how unhappy everyone was, made me really upset. "I am just someone who takes orders. Im on the bottom. There's nothing much i can do to change this," I thought to myself. I was even considering asking my manger to teach me more things and to help me do what mangers do so I could help her and the others out. I waited a while to talk to her but decided not to.
    Best decision i made..
    I realized, Watching this video, that the more busy I become, the more pulled away I'm going to be from the "small" people who matter to me and who I want to help. If I become a manger, I won't be able to help my people in drive thru like I am right now. I wouldn't be able to have conversations with people on my break cause I wouldn't ever have time for one. I'd be trying so hard to help people that I'll end up pushing them away.
    Earlier this week, a coworker asked me for a hug because she wanted my "good energy" to get through the day. Before then, I never thought she thought much of me. We barely talked but we did tease each other when we would see one another.
    And watching this video made me realize that it really is those small things that i do that matter. Where I am focused on making that one persons day, even if it is through a playful tease or taking orders.
    Thank you so much for this video Brendon. ????

  3. Thank you for this! So much wisdom! I have 6 children, a husband, and an elderly mom I care for, and it can get overwhelming… automate important things empower those under me✅
