spouse, if you don't have children, then I would say that you could substitute community, neighbors, friends for that same commitment.
And that same focus, again, over and above business, human beings were built for relationships, we see a host of issues pop up when we're lonely, and when we're over focused on work.
each morning.
When my kids are gone at camp or whatever, my wife and I do that together.
So God is first, then family, first spouse, then children.
And that human touch is something that's far more important than business.
Fourth priority is health.
So the health comes after taking care of your spirit and taking care of your relationships.
And as I mean,
as any 110-year-old gin-chugging, cigarette-smoking Sardinian grandma would attest to relationships and the fact that that grandma is surrounded by people she loves and it's a community that's very focused on community and relationships.
So after I've done all that, after the family huddle, then I go hit the gym.
And I'm an entrepreneur.
I love my business.
I love making money.
I love impacting the world.
I love fulfilling my life's purpose.
And
Even though I'm in the freaking fitness industry, every bone in my body wants to go take care of the emails and start the podcast and create the content and build the business and get the income streams going.
The relationship part and your family is even more important than health.
So again, like I have my personal spiritual time and then I gather my family for a family huddle every morning and we meditate together and we do breath work and we read the Bible and we pray and we all come together as a family for a family touch point each morning.
