Take a Load Off

Sometimes we focus so much on what we should be doing to grow, learn and improve that it's so easy to forget what we shouldn't be doing. We want to encourage you to remember that your clients are people with busy lives, families and social lives - and so are you.

Schedule a week to ease up on your business development efforts a bit. Give yourself a break. Of course, if there is a looming deadline or pressing work to be done, it needs to be handled. But tap the breaks on drumming up new business during this scheduled time. Enjoy a slower pace, leave the office on time (GASP!), spend some extra time with family and friends, sit and read a book, enjoy a mid-day walk - whatever helps you feel a little more peaceful.
