“You just gotta want it…
Not ‘really, really, really’ want it,
But ‘get off your ass and start working’ want it
Huge difference
- John Carlton – The Entrepreneurs Guide to Getting Your Shit Together
That quote says it all. Especially when it comes to what your business gives back to your life.
One owner I spoke with blamed his 16-hour workdays for the wreckage in his marriage.
But a few questions in, it was clear:
- At least 8–10 of those hours were pure micromanaging.
- Obsessing over what his team was doing,
- Counting keystrokes like it was some productivity religion.
- Burning time. Bleeding energy. Achieving nothing.
What did he really want?
An independent business.
What was he doing?
Trying to control every breath of it.
He didn’t need to “work harder.”
He needed to start working different.
Trust. Delegate. Build real systems.
Not so you can “do less.”
But so you can finally get your life back.
And when you do — it doesn’t feel like more work.
It feels like a huge weight is off your shoulders.
That you can breathe again.
That sleep actually means rest.
And best of all?
It starts to work without you.
It grows. It becomes sellable.
It gives you choices.
That’s the payoff.
So — how bad do you actually want that kind of business?
