Treating Yourself as Your Best Asset

Business Habitat with Sam Dean

Episode 101 of The Business Habitat Podcast, Sam pauses for a moment to reflect on how we should be treating ourselves as our biggest asset. Using the metaphor of our material assets to demonstrate the priorities we place on external factors, Sam illustrates how our attention is sometimes misplaced, often to the detriment of our values and boundaries. In the current climate of volatility at both a domestic and international level, now more than ever it is important to be looking after ourselves and managing our time and energy to best serve our own needs and those around us. As leaders in business, whether as an employee or as business owners, the demands on our time can seem endless, and it is up to us to best manage our own resources and output. Sam compares our management of self to the task of looking after our biggest material asset, whether that be our own home, an investment property, or some other financial investment. We research the purchase, we guard it closely, cognisant of who and what we let into the premises. Sam questions whether we are as vigilant when it comes to safeguarding own well-being, often letting ourselves be spread too thin and not doing enough to re-energise. Now in the era of "The Great Resignation", experienced and senior people are succumbing to Leadership Fatigue Syndrome. One of the reasons for this is the lack of education around how to better manage and replenish our own energy. If our physical self is the only asset we can truly control, then isn't it time to start to rethink how we approach our daily work and consider the return on your biggest investment - the asset of you?
