Sachin Patel says design your business around your life, not the other way around. Start by listing your dream day's non-negotiables: morning yoga, time outdoors, exercise. He found 25 of his 35 items could start tomorrow, and he blocks client meetings before 10 a.m. and stops work at 5 p.m.
25
He does not start seeing clients or take appointments until 10:00.
5:00.
First is you want to design your dream day. One of the key things that I've learned, the mantras that I've learned is you want to learn how to design your business around your life, not a life around your business. Let me say that again. You want to learn how to design your business around your life, not a life around your business. We want to design our dream day. So we, before we even launch our business, the first thing we need to do is decide what kind of life do we want to live and then we build a business around that. So one exercise I have my clients do, and it's in the course that I'm going to share, is we have prompts. We walk them through how to design their dream day. What are the non negotiables? And what they quickly realize is that of the 35 things that they've listed and articulated as their dream day, they can start doing 25 of them tomorrow. So we can start living our dream life as early as tomorrow. But we have to know what that is. And when we know what our dream day is, we know what our dream week looks like, our dream month, quarter year and decade and life starts to look like. So we start by designing our day first. And we live with intention. And when we have this as our compass, then we start getting a clear understanding and, and a lack of emotional attachment to yeses and no's. Okay? If you don't know what your dream day looks like, then guess what, you're at the mercy of everyone else. So I have certain non negotiables. So for me, my dream day starts with me. Time starts with me doing yoga, starts with me spending time outdoors. It starts with me having my morning elixir. It starts with me exercising, it starts with me taking a cold shower. It starts with certain activities, specific things, and these are non negotiable for being. And guess what? I don't start seeing clients or take any appointments until 10 o'. Clock. That's been non negotiable for me for the last, you know, I don't know, like 10 years, okay. And I end my day at 5:00'. Clock. That's a non negotiable for me. If somebody wants to talk to me after that, it's very rare that that's going to happen. So you have to have a day designed and then you plan everything around what your dream life looks like. Okay? Knowing that is very critical.
