This topic has nothing to do with managing a company but managing yourself.

You have to be intentional about how you live.  People simply follow tradition and culture rather than consciously thinking about how to manage themselves.

Society pushes you in your professional area. Many people rise to the top in one area but you would find that many other areas of their lives have been unattended to. A successful failure is someone who has made it in one area yet they know they have failed in many other areas of their lives.

With a little bit of intentionality, many people can eat their cake and have it. I am not talking about abandoning your vision but you must make sure you take care of all the areas in your life before it is too late. It is said that the first person you will lead is yourself.

Let us dwell on leading and managing yourself. Whether you like it or not, it is a compulsory subject. Whether you manage your life well or not, you are managing it somehow.

It is not a matter of saying you would not care about yourself. If you do not care about yourself, you are programming yourself to fail.
