The late, brilliant writer Stephen R. Covey stated, “It’s incredibly easy to get caught up in the thick of thin things.” As service contractors we all struggle to find life work balance. And this is true in all areas of life- we ALL get ‘bogged down’ in trivial matters, negative emotions and all too often, toxic and/or abusive relationships.😢
But this is a business website focused on helping companies that provide residential services. So with great trepidation I’m gonna say…
That the actual ‘work’ you do in client’s homes is the “thin thing” of your contractor business. (And life!) I’ve commented before about all your business toys… err I mean business tools, trucks, equipment, etc. You (and I) LOVE these playthings! And yet…
All of this tangible stuff means almost nothing to your success.😲 Instead, consistently “Making the Cheerleader” is what will make your phone ring! Speaking of the joyful sound of a ringing phone…

So where is the LIFE versus WORK balance for you?
“Is my phone constantly ringing ‘all there is’?” My answer? A resounding “NO”! Listen closely here: “The purpose of your service business is to serve your life!” (Which is what I assume you and your loved ones want!) However…
A degree of financial wealth (MONEY!) will be needed to accomplish almost all of your “wants” and thus proper life work balance. As I tell every one of my “Strategies for Success” classes: “Money is just a tool. But MORE money is much better than NO money!”💲💲
NOTE: In over 20 years and over 6,000 residential service students I’ve NEVER had anyone argue with the above statement!
So instead of just ‘making a good living’ (with all the ‘fun toys’!) from your home services business I’ll leave you a question to reflect on…
“HOW can I increase my PERSONAL savings and investments by my small business serving ME?”💖 Now that is life work balance! 😊
