Intro 00:01

Hello, hello, hello. This is Gresh from the I AM CEO Podcast. And this is a special episode of I AM CEO Podcast.

And this is actually going to be a snippet of a snippet, so to speak. I'm just doing an intro because I've been starting to document my journey into starting what is now called BlueStar Franchise.

We're also going to do a kind of sub site within CBNation called Franchise CEO. So you'll see some links in the show notes related to that.

But just wanted to give you a little bit more insight, give you a little bit more color in some of the aspects of why I'm actually doing this.

Because one of the things I was doing as I was going through training to start up this new business was realizing and hearing from the founder of FBA, the Franchise Brokers Association, that it'd be really cool to document your journey going through and building this out.

I think it's something that would be super helpful obviously for people that are looking for and thinking about starting franchises.

But frankly, if you're starting anything, any type of business, I think it's really cool to kind of just even see the journey and how it's been going from there.

So I'm going to share a few of those snippets from the first couple of videos that have been created.

But definitely, of course, subscribe to our YouTube, check out a lot more where I figure out exactly where we're going to post this.

So I'll have that information that's available to you. But regardless, if you're a builder, continue to keep building, continue to do your thing.

The world definitely needs exactly what you're trying to build and needs you to be your unique self.

So make sure to run your own race because nobody can run your race like you. This is Gresh signing out. I hope you have a phenomenal rest of the day.

It’s really hard to pour from an empty cup. For me, it’s been really tiring, just with all the travel and all the information and  new things that I’m learning, new team members, things that we’re implementing.

It’s been a lot going on, there’s a tremendous amount of change even we got some news that our baby might be coming a little bit sooner than we expected.

And that’s definitely obviously a blessing. But at the same time it’s just kinda put you some pins and needles.

[restrict paid=”true”]

So yesterday, I actually had two meetings, one podcast, one was a meeting that canceled and I just had  to just take a nap.

And it’s something that I always say that I should do a  lot more but I’ve always a reason why not to do it.

But I even slept a long time, last night as we were winding out and getting ready to sleep and, go on watching a show on Netflix and the power went out.

So couldn’t really do much of anything, so I had to go to bed a lot  earlier which ends up probably being like what my body at least needed.

Sometimes we just need that kinda shut down and reset. And one of the reason that bring that up today was just because it just is a great reminder, sometimes tomorrow is better than doing things tomorrow.

As much as you want to shut things off less than other things, as you start to have more and more on your plate, you have to be able to prioritize, and you have to be able kinda see the forest from the trees.

I think that I should keep more, I guess involved in life or for having more responsibilities and things that you take it on.

It's gonna be more so important to make sure that you prioritizing the most important things which area are gonna move the needle forward.

And that’s why I really love, I referenced so many times, at 12 week year, because for me it’s really intentional on the things that needs to be done in order to succeed.

And when we laser focused on those things, it allows us to make sure that we are moving the needle in the right directions by focusing on the right things.

And one of those big things is our energy. We don’t have unlimited energy. We can’t pour from an empty cup.

Our resources are not, they run out that’s the best way to say that. And once we start to understand and to realize that we know that we have to be guarded on our energy.

So as I’m getting towards the end of the year, as we might have a new addition on the way before the end of the year as well too, it becomes even more important to say no.

And I talked to somebody, and I remember this quote is like, no is a full sentence. You don’t have to say no but because I this or that, just say no.

Or maybe not now or let me think about it. Those are also the thing that I’ve learned that have helped me to make sure that I’m filtering the things I'm doing to make sure that they're aligned what are what we're trying to do.

So with that being said, you want to make sure that you're doing the things that fill you up. You want to make sure you be with and looking and what else you can or everything is so but for me to have.

And with that being said it's this night something you probably have to pay attention to if you have your keeping your cup full and you have your oxygen mask on first and make sure you are in the best place to make this good decisions help me as far as I'm doing a better job.

And I've been better last night I got 97 I have called better sleep it is a huge subscription but at the same time it's like three with that being said, remember each tip will finally become what it is to make sure that you all resting that you are touching the you have to make sure that you kind of stretch yourself on the other end.

So that you can have that energy to hustle but also remember when you hustle that means the same for today I'll catch you before I take such one.

Outro 12:39
