You need to pay back the time that you spent on your business back to your family.
It's important they understand that their needs and wants have priority with you too.
If you have a sporting event with your child or business function with your spouse, don't cancel it because you forgot and scheduled a call with a prospect.
Reschedule your prospect.
They are more understanding than you realize.
