Being away from your business sometimes g
ives you greater clarity and perspective.
Each of us has only 24 hours in a day. How are you spending your working hours to best advantage your business?
With well trained, motivated staff, who know they are valued and trusted you don't need to be physically in your business workplace the whole time.
How long has it been since you took some time to head outside your daily work space and look at your business from a different angle? Be kind to yourself and your business.

- Any other suggestions or comments?
One thing that helps me is to have a dinner once a month with another business owner. We have no specific agenda or time limit. We just meet, eat and talk about business. It is both relaxing and informative. We trade ideas, discuss common problems and give each other support. An informal meeting like this can be especially helpful to a sole owner who often has no one with whom to share ideas, excitement, or concerns.
