This is surround yourself with the right service.

And one of the greatest lessons I've learned

in both business and in life

is that service and self-care are not opposing forces.

They are independent of each other.

And many of us have been conditioned to believe

that serving others means putting ourselves last.

And the true generosity requires self-sacrifice.

But the truth is, you can't give what you don't have, and your cup is empty, you have nothing left to pour.

Most people live their lives in a zero-sum game.

They give more than they receive. Even though if they follow

the infinite loop of abundance, the more they give, the more they'll be given, the more they will be

given, the more they'll receive. And the more they receive, the more confident and faithful they'll

be to ask for more. And instead, the most generous and kind

people give more than they receive. And no matter what and no matter how you do the math,

if you don't receive more than you give, you're going to end up at zero eventually. And so when we

talk about surround yourself with the right service, the first service that you need to provide in all aspects of your life is yourself. And the importance of self-care is why in my non-negotiable behavior, the two first and most prioritized non-negotiable

behaviors in my life are sleep, a minimum of seven hours of sleep. I have a sleep coach for the last

18 years as well as I now also put a minimum of an hour on my health first.

So eight of my 24 hours are in self-care before anything else, non-negotiable, non-circumstantial,

very few exemptions.

Self-care is the key to sustaining happiness, productivity, accessibility, and health.
