TLDR:
- Everyone has the same 24 hours. How productive are you from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to sleep?
- It may be that you find yourself going to social outings and gatherings for the sake of maintaining a good personal image and so as to not come across as rude. But what about the personal brand you could’ve spent time further cultivating instead?
- If you find yourself in this boat, recognize that it’s not that they’re suddenly no longer of any significance to you, it’s just that you’re prioritizing your time
Establishing your utmost priorities
When you’ve just embarked on your entrepreneurial pursuit, depending on how dedicated you are right from the get-go, you may often find yourself lonely like a lone warrior, or you’ve inhabited a world where you’re now completely isolated.
This may especially be a result of sacrificing things such as social outings and gatherings with your friends. However, this is all a part of prioritizing your time.
Everyone has the same 24 hours, and when you’re on such a journey, a big piece of the puzzle is what are you doing with your time, specifically from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep.
Perhaps you may find yourself going to these outings and gatherings so as to not look bad and maintain a good personal image. But what about the personal brand of what it is you’re trying to create?
If you find yourself in this boat, think about how your personal brand could already be shaping up to be if you never spent all that time on the former, and instead committing it entirely to this.
It’s not as though they suddenly are no longer of significance to you that you have to keep some act up, it’s merely prioritizing your time.
As David Perrell says, you’re in service to creative work. The more you dig deep into what it is you should be prioritizing, you’ll not only be closer to striking gold but stumble upon people who are working towards the same objective as you and with whom you can form relationships, no longer feeling isolated.
And that is one of the many beauties of prioritizing your time.
