And what a treat to be on certainly honored and humbled to be with you so I you know I think what one of the things is that I think people think that success and fulfillment that it's a choice of one or the other that we can either be really really successful and if we go and become really successful then guess what we're probably not going to be able to be fulfilled whether it's personally professionally.

Whereas if we chase fulfillment right then gosh you pray not gonna you know make any money make a really big impact and and so these it's this false choice at some level that that there isn't both that you put your ladder up against the success wall or the fulfillment wall and you run hard.

And I believe without question that you can have both and that it is important in life to pursue both I think it's more important than ever in fact I think at some level COVID has taught all of us that you know there is a lot of things in life maybe that that we've overlooked that we could have been enjoying and leaning into and that we haven't and so.

Success and fulfillment aren't aren't too separate bifurcated choices we can have both well I love that sentiment and fire nation actually be spending the rest of the episode proving that reality to you because we're talking about managing your time through the lens of energy and.

One thing I want to just jump into Molly is balance because that is a controversial word these days I mean especially for entrepreneurs which of course make up my audience fire nation so how can the listeners today adjust their schedules when they have the goal of balancing their priorities yes a great question you know to me balance is a byproduct of clarity and when we get really clear in life on what matters most to us what we truly value most.

Mentally physically emotionally relational spiritually then we can then back into decisions of what we say yes to a note to based on what we've previously gotten clear on so for example we have an energizer program that we deliver all over the globe and.

You know sometimes I'll have participants say you know gosh I mean yeah my kids they matter to me a ton I mean being at my body you know my son's ball games that matters being at my daughter's volleyball games that matters right being home for dinner matters being present with my.

Family in my spouse my partner it matters and then they have this aha moment where they say wow but I play golf a weekend I go hunting every weekend I.

Am on my cell phone when I walk in the door gosh I got a gap and so it to me it starts with clarity and then having at some of the discipline right to say okay if this is in fact what matters most to me how do I ensure that my behaviors my energy.

Where I am putting my energy is aligning to that so it starts with clarity and then it takes discipline obviously I mean it's hard to say no it's no fun to say no but the but the the message that I often have learned to tell myself in those moments is when I'm saying no to that 730 cocktail with a potential client I'm saying yes to having dinner with our three daughters because I'm the only person that can be their mom now it doesn't mean that that's always perfect and it doesn't mean I nail it every time I certainly don't.

At all but what I do try to do is that if I've got to give some time away on the back end of a day potentially that I'm going to I'm going to somehow find a way to get it back on the front end or on another day that week.

There's a couple things I want to double down on here fire nation I mean number one ask yourself the question do you have the discipline to align your energy with your goals because the answer is no then you better keep listening because that's what we'll be talking about here today and then.

When you say yes to something fire nation like say that mall has said yes to those drinks she's actually not just saying no to having dinner with her daughters she's saying no to everything else you otherwise could potentially be doing during that time so one yes isn't just one yes it's actually a potential hundred to 1000 to millions of knows of other

opportunities that could exist so be very very careful with your yes is because man that is again just blocking yourself off from any potential future things that could have been in that place so hey I'm saying you want to attack the world you want to take action you want to

make the most of opportunities need to say yes to a lot of great things but just be intentional be disciplined to be thoughtful about these things and I want to talk about another word that you're

really into Molly which is fulfillment so how important is fulfillment in our lives and how can we find more in meaningful work that we're doing and you know even more so with these fewer
