4 Critical Things To Change If You’re Working On Your Business Way Too Much
I hear it all too often from business owners:
“I am SO overwhelmed by everything I need to do in my business!”
I have to say, I totally get it.
You’re serving clients, marketing your business, and you want to have a life. You cross one thing off the list and two more pop up in its place. No wonder you feel drained! And I know you don’t want that.
I have a little insight that will have a big impact:
“You CAN’T have it all.” (Even though I often hear people proclaim the opposite).

How to find out exactly what your clients want: A tale of two coffee shops
I was riding in an elevator to my office building and struck up a conversation with someone in an office one floor down from me. She was really enjoying her morning coffee, and I noticed that her coffee cup was from Awaken Café, right across the street from our building. I was surprised because there is a delightful coffee shop less than 10 feet from our elevator- Bittersweet Café, and it’s right in our building.
