Appreciation

3rd January 2013

What a great Christmas and New Year break. I think I was more relaxed this year than ever before, seeing less people and doing less generally, and as a result I was able to appreciate all the more some happy family time. Now I realise I am a bit of a traditionalist, but I love to play silly games, do charades, and enjoy great family meals laughing and joking around the table. What is more, I believe it is really good for anyone to be able to shed off the day to day stresses and strains that we generally labour under, and for a short time just appreciate the simple pleasures in life, and maybe realise just how lucky we all are.

Of course there are many challenges ahead over the next year, but I come at 2013 with renewed vigor and optimism, knowing that I have a happy and contented family, and that despite all else we will always be there for each other.

No doubt these feelings will fade, but it is so important to remember why as business owners we started our own businesses in the first place. Yes, for a very few it might be for selfish reasons, but for most of us it is so we can provide a good and secure life for ourselves and our families. Creating a business which can work without us must surely still be the utopia for all business owners. A business which generates turnover and profit even if we are not there. One where the team runs the business and we as business owners have the freedom to choose how and when we spend time in the business.

If you like the sound of this, but don’t recognise it as being your business, perhaps now is the time to do something about it. If you’re not sure how to go about it, then now is the time to get in touch with me.
