The secret to getting your work and life in balance

I work with people who run their own businesses and they often tell me I should write down some of the stuff I talk about when I am with them.

So, here goes. Completely new to blogging and a bit of a technophobe but it seemed like a good idea. Only time will tell!

The essence of what I do can be summed up as “get the life you want: build the business you need”. Too many people who write about growing businesses seem to assume that the only way to have a successful business is to work all the hours you can, work as hard as you can and expect to not pay yourself very much. I think there is another way!

Make a plan! You don’t have to tell anyone about it or even do anything about making it happen but at least start with a plan. The purpose of the plan is to work out what your business would have to look like to give you the life you want. The first, and possibly most difficult bit, is to work out what you want your life to like. This is usually something around having enough money and having the time to enjoy it.

I’ll come back and blog some more about this soon because it is something I feel really strongly
