FINDING BALANCE

It is important to remember that you are only human and you must make
your needs a top priority. You need to take the time to socialize with
friends, take the family out for dinner, get some exercise or simply get
away from work for a little while. When your mind and body are fresh, you
are more stimulated and your work performance will improve, as will your
overall happiness and well-being.

It can be quite stressful for business owners, especially when an uncertain
economy is a factor. It seems practical to put in more hours at the office
and devote more of your energy to succeed and survive in the work at
home industry; however, doing so will only worsen the situation as it
begins to take its toll on you.

Happiness and leisure are very important following a long day making
business decisions and attending one virtual meeting right after another.
The key to being successful and happy, not just in business but also in
life, is balance. More work does not have to mean less play.

BALANCE AND BUSINESS

Finding balance means that you have a strong sense of overall well being,
which is vital if you want to achieve professional as well as personal
success. The nurturing of confidence and self-awareness will provide you
with the inner balance in business and life that you so desire.

There are four main levels of awareness, including body, emotion, spirit
and mentality. When you find balance within all of these areas, you will be
able to sustain the feeling of empowerment that you need to face
professional and personal challenges.

Success in business comes when you understand ways in which you can
benefit from profit. You are busy, working in a profession that you enjoy,
encouraging positive attitudes among all involved.
