Oh how I've missed this.
It has been too long since I wrote a blog! I am finishing up a COO role at a great company - it was wonderful, but also incredibly time intensive and I did not have a lot of time to focus on my own company, or many other aspects of my life.
I also learned a very valuable lesson - in the midst of trying to do an excellent job, whether it's for a full-time role or for a client, we sometimes dive so far into what we're doing that we forget to focus on ourselves. I forgot to follow my own favorite advice - to thy own self be true.
It is with this in mind that I am refocusing on myself and my company. Whatever the next adventure may bring, I will be sure to allocate time for me - whether that is going for a walk, watching a movie with my son, or networking with potential clients.
How about you - what are you going to do to focus on yourself? At this time of giving and focusing on others, be sure to carve out time for you.
