Putting Yourself on Lockdown Mode
Posted by Erin Blaskie on December 10th, 2009 at 9:48 am
Do you ever feel like you're just spinning your wheels in your business?
Pumping out new things again and again and again but nothing seems to work?
Or, you might feel like you're swamped with your current practice and not saying no is costing you your work/life balance.
Looking at the third option, of having no work/life balance, that is totally me.
In fact, I'm in one of those funks right now. I wouldn't necessarily call it a funk perhaps... maybe it's just more of a stopping per...
