This maxim is really helping me as I prepare for the North Pole Marathon . Every morning I decide what I need to do in order to be true to myself to move my goals and dreams forward. It is easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and lose focus on my personal and professional priorities. When I pay myself first, I intentionally put effort towards working “on” my life versus “in” my life. Examples for me are getting my training in, working on the travel logistics to get to the North Pole, eating properly, meditating, getting massages, taking time for loved ones and working on my business. All of these help me to be my best self and be on top of my game physically, mentally and spiritually. As a result, I am more prepared to do good work for others. When I pay myself first I better live by my motto “Live intentionally, be extraordinary and do great things for your world.”
