Let’s talk about productivity and motivation, and how they are actually two different concepts. The way I see it, motivation is the fuel to put your ideas and dreams into drive. Meanwhile, productivity is what keeps the car going. It’s you stepping on the gas to keep the car in motion by completing the tasks, projects, etc. required to keep your business alive.

If there's one thing I believe I am good at, it is balancing productivity with activities when I'm on vacation. Yeah, it's the one time I'm supposed to relax but let's be real here, when you're the CEO of your own business, you really don't have much of a choice. That is, until you grow into an empire with several employees and a trusted manager to watch over the company when you're gone.

If there's one thing that we can never get back, it is time. As an entrepreneur we often seek ways to save time, but despite the endless articles providing tips to do so, the truth is - if you want to save time, you have to spend money. "In order to make money, you have to have money." You need money to start, you need money to invest, and you need money to delegate out tasks to save you time and give you time. So if you are like me and rather spend time creating instead of 5 hours at the laundry mat, then you're going to have to start paying someone to do it for you instead.
