504 - Six-Figure Time

<p>In over a decade of studying female heads of households in their homes and researching what it takes to get them organized, I've thought a lot about time and the invisible work we are doing.</p> <p>The big thing when I started my business was hitting six figures. Everyone wanted to hit $100,000 in yearly income. Back then, I had just quit my teaching job in a private school making $24,000 a year in take-home pay. <strong>I couldn't even wrap my mind around ever being a six-figure income earner!</strong></p> <p>Over the years, as I've looked at how women use their time, I've come to this conclusion: You can have six-figure time without the six-figure income. It's all about mindset and how you choose to spend your time. <strong>In this episode, I share my observations of six-figure income earners and my suggestions for developing a six-figure time mindset.</strong></p> <h2>How Six-Figure Income Earners Spend Their Time</h2> <p>As a professional organizer, I went into the homes of many six-figure earners with million-dollar homes. These were often doctors, lawyers, business owners, and C-Suite executives. I had the opportunity to see how they run their lives and the type of help they hired. <strong>Having a six-figure income gave these women and their families a choice in how they spend their time.</strong></p> <p>Can you have this six-figure time mindset without the six-figure income? I think you can! <strong>Many millionaires are time-poor while many who have no income at all are time rich.</strong> What's the difference between time poverty and being rich in time?</p> <h2>Time Passing vs Making a Difference</h2> <p>Most people see time in terms of how much time is passing and what they can get done. Truly productive people see a third dimension: If I spend my time doing this today, will it make a difference in the future? Will it make a difference a month, a year, 5 years, or 10 years from now? <strong>People who are time multipliers always make their time decisions based on the significance factor.</strong></
