This post is very short. Basically I am just stating the obvious. We give everything to our business. Time, money, enthusiasm. We try to do everything under the sun to grow it. But we often make one simple mistake – we forget that we are part of it. If all our energy goes into theContinue reading “When business is part of you”

Are frenemies good for you?
To put it bluntly and to save you some time – the answer is: “No!” I know that people are often scared about what will the others think. In this time and age everyone knows about everyone, right? But do you really have to waste any energy even thinking about this? Yes, there will alwaysContinue reading “Are frenemies good for you?”
When everything is too much…
I am at that stage and I thought that I will share it. I think all sides should be shown. Not only the happy and optimistic one – i.e. just plan, get organised, get routine going and you will get there… Today I feel completely different and it is not for the first time. AfterContinue reading “When everything is too much…”
Get (more) scientific with your business strategy
Know your weaknesses! This one has helped a lot, especially this year. I know that I am quite emotional about my business. I tend to think that what I like – others will like or that what I need – others will need. I have quickly learned that this is not the case. Basically, thereContinue reading “Get (more) scientific with your business strategy”
When work morale is low…
I do love spring but I have noticed that spring is not good for my business.

In between 2 styles of work
I have been working with an employer for many years and for myself just few years. Spring is always the time where the big difference is revealed. At my 9-5 work, the tempo is always the same – no matter what season. I turn up, do my thing, go home. There are small changes hereContinue reading “In between 2 styles of work”
One person business can be a lonely place
Starting a business is a very exciting thing. Especially in the beginning. I have had a small one person business for a while now – 3 years ‘doing it actively’ and 3 years ‘half-heartedly. And there was a long pause. Simply because it did not bring me what I hoped. I have restarted the activityContinue reading “One person business can be a lonely place”
Still blogging without a “niche”
Niche is a big word in the digital world. I do hear it more often: “What is your niche? You do have to have a niche!” It begins to give me bit of an anxiety simply because I don’t have one. Trust me, I am looking for one 🙂 I have listen to countless self-helpContinue reading “Still blogging without a “niche””
Sorting out ideas…
Sometimes I have just too many ideas and sometimes I have none. What helps me in both cases is a thinking page. I ask myself questions and write down ideas as they come. After that I try to streamline the flood of ideas into something more targeted and something that makes more sense. I amContinue reading “Sorting out ideas…”
