Driving or autopilot?
There is no doubt that my recent Seminar and workshop were well worth the effort and not just because of the new contacts I made and the things that I learnt! There has been another, quite unexpected outcome from spending a couple of days focussing solely on my business. It has made me take a step back and have a good look at exactly what I'm doing to take the business forward and it was a sorry surprise when I realised that currently I'm not doing very much.
I have come to the shocking conclusion that over the last month or so my work-life balance has shifted to such an extent that I am now doing very little to actually drive the business forward and that I am in fact on autopilot - merely dealing with things as they arise, which is absolutely awful!
Hopefully all is not lost. In a recent documentary my hero, Sir Alan Sugar, admitted that there was a time when he took his eye off the ball - and that was for a much longer period than a few weeks, so perhaps I'm in with a chance!
I'll keep you posted!
