Marker 32: Protect the Asset

If you collapse, the company follows. Protect the asset.

You’re the Engine. Treat Yourself Like One.
You’re not a machine.
But even if you were, you’d still need maintenance.

You can’t serve clients, coach your team, and lead your family if you’re:

  • Exhausted
  • Malnourished
  • Bitter
  • Wired and tired

Stop using yourself like a rental. Start treating yourself like a keystone.

Build a Business That Doesn’t Break Its Leader

Create rules like:

  • No client gets your evenings
  • No team member gets your peace
  • No project is worth your health

You’re not weak for protecting yourself. You’re wise.
