Are you a slave to your business
Are you a slave to your business?
Your business is there to serve you; not the other way around. In other words; you should never be a slave to your business.
Being a slave implies a victim mentality - that the world has simply dealt you a bad hand, that you have no say in the matter. Perhaps you hear yourself thinking you are a slave to your business because your clients need you, or your team can't cope without you, or maybe the economy is busting, or booming... basically, inset any excuse here as to why you can't change. But it is exactly that, an excuse.

- Do you need more time to plan?
No more excuses - it's your business, you make the rules, choose not to be a slave!
