I was feeling completely burnt out with no energy. I do sometimes take weekends off but most weekends you would find me working at least part of the time. I started my business 10 years ago and I love it. I try to take a lot of trips and vacations but would rarely unplug fully. […]
I know everyone is doing a lot of reflecting on 2018 and I’ve been doing a lot of planning for the next year. I thought I’d share a little bit of what I’ve learned in this last year. Best Year Ever for my business So that’s awesome. But it actually came more out of necessity […]
