And when I find people, because I work with people all day, every day, when I find people like that, the fastest way to handle that is to be like, hey, Sarah, let me see your phone real fast.
Say, well, give me your phone and I'll open up the screen time on her phone.
And if the screen time on her phone has three hours of Netflix or an hour and a half of Instagram, like just reallocate that time.
to the thing that you wanna go build.
Use your calendar, use your time for building the life that you actually want to have instead of saying, oh, I have kids while also being distracted with your kids and not being a parent, whatever that definition for you is, a parent to them.
I don't think that kids are negatively impacted by watching their parents work their asses off.
I think that that is an inspiring way to grow up.
I had two parents who worked their tails off and I do think that I am...
part of the way that I am because I had such incredible parents who worked hard and who prioritized their own goals and their own success as something that was important.
And I would also argue it should be more important than I am.
Just because you're a parent shouldn't mean that your kids are the most important thing in your life and you have to over-index on spending all of your time there.
They're the same thing.
They're not different.
I do not find success and happiness on two polar opposites.
I am happy when I create things and when I can see in the physical universe that I've done something that I wanted to do, whether that's
driving revenue, hiring people, helping a business owner.
That is when I am the happiest, when I am doing the things that are part of becoming successful.
She's not content or happy though.
Because what is she watching?
Is she watching Selling Sunset and watching other people live their lives and touring these gorgeous homes and having these fancy things that Sarah would love to have if she really thought she could have those things?
