Many of us who have started a business or just trying to fulfill any goal in general, we sometimes forget to include ourselves and our needs in the equation.

When I first started my business I was craving for freedom and the ability to choose what I wanted to work on. And then I ended up overworking myself. And yes, there’s many layers to that but one of the main one was because I didn’t include my needs. I thought pushing was the only way to go.

But there’s always another way…

Creating space through systems
