Chasing your dream, or chasing your tail?
There’s nothing wrong with being busy… running a business is most often going to require effort and ‘doing’ things, lots of them.
I like being busy myself. I enjoy the satisfaction of taking on tasks and getting them done. But I really don’t enjoy being so busy that I feel stressed and overburdened.
My life is nowhere near as busy as it was, and I chose that consciously, and only recently I realised why I don’t feel stressed (most of the time…) HERE’S WHY…

5 simple steps to getting back on track when you lose your way…
Even the most confident and successful people can sometimes lose their way in life, the trick is, to get back on your path as quickly and easily as possible.
It’s a bit of a scary feeling getting lost, ever had that feeling where you’re a bit lost in a strange country? or maybe on the London Tube… that moment of fear where you feel like you’re alone and scared and you don’t know which way to turn and a dark cloud starts to creep up inside your belly… I know… It’s enough to make you go home and stay there!
In life every day, we have to make choices about which way to turn and which step to take next. Sometimes, those choices are not clear and we find ourselves lost and unable to make a clear decision and then, going home and retreating to safety is our easy way out.
But if you’re prepared to be resourceful and seek simple ways to get yourself back on track – losing your way is not so scary anymore – it’s just part of the adventure!
