i had become a ghost of myself

I lost touch with my friends.

I didn’t have hobbies.

My business was my baby. My business partner and clients were my friends.

My work was my life.

I was a ghost of myself. I would work through lunch and forget to eat breakfast. Powered by caffeine.

When we were overloaded with orders I would try to keep up. When orders slowed down I would scramble to find my employees work to fill the gaps.

The ups and downs. The rollercoaster of having 15 employees, 700K in revenue and a line of people wishing they could be our clients.

I see this in my clients today. The feeling that the business has gotten bigger than them, like the train is moving faster than they can keep up with. Or like they have no choice but to tread water to keep up.

But we ALWAYS have choices.

We can hire help.

We can lay people off when it is slow.

We can say no to clients.

We can raise our prices.

You can go on vacation, take a sabbatical. Quit or sell the business.

You can hire and grow to twice your size, or downsize to a manageable size.

You can take ACTION or sit back and watch your life pass you by. But make no mistake. Everyday is a CHOICE.

And I wish I realized I could have taken the reins and chosen something different a lot sooner.

If you had a free pass to CHOOSE whatever you wanted in your business right now. What would you choose? Tell me via email!
