Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. What's up everybody and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. My name is Paul Alex and today we're going to be tackling something that every entrepreneur faces. How to run a business without letting it run you. Look, I get it. When you're building your dream, it's easy to let it consume your life.

But here's the thing. If you're not careful, your business will become your boss instead of your vehicle for freedom. So let's go ahead and talk about how to control that and make your business work for you. First things first guys, build systems that actually work without you. Look, if your business relies on you being involved

in every detail, you're not running a business. You're running yourself into the ground. You basically created yourself a job. Early on when I learned the power of automation, delegation and creating processes that let my business run like machines without me, the less your business depends on you, the more freedom you'll have to focus on growth.

Second, you gotta set boundaries and you gotta stick to them guys. Look, you can't pour from an empty cup.

If you're consistently working late nights and skipping time with your family, you're headed for burnout.

Schedule your non-negotiable time for yourself, whether it's for your health, your family, or just recharging. When you actually put some balance into your life, you're actually building something sustainable, and it's not weakness. And lastly, you gotta stay focused on your bigger vision, guys.

It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind, but always ask yourself this one question. Am I working in my business or on my business? Your job as the leader is to keep steering the ship guys, not to get stuck scrubbing the decks. You got to stay laser focused on the long-term goals and don't let distractions just pull you off course, okay? So here's the thing guys your business should be a tool to create freedom not a trap that takes it away. You got to build systems you got to protect your time and you always got to keep your vision in sight. That's actually how you stay in control as a business owner guys.
