Well this past week I’ve been slowing down a little and stopped chasing my tail. I’ve reigned in my time spent on social networking, written yet another timetable for day to day tasks, which, yes, unlike new year’s resolutions I am sticking too!

Setting up a mastermind group was a big one, and if you haven’t started one yet, do consider it. Ours is working really well; the support is great between us. We come together regularly and have a catch up, brainstorm, share business products and courses we’ve found useful and also do a little bit of business with each other.

The idea of a mentor is to speak with them for around ten minutes a month, enough time to ask any questions that might be bugging you and get a reasonable response. Read More→
