Small Business Trends Column – Who Else (Besides a Majority of Business Professionals) Wants Work Life Balance in 2008?
A nationwide survey sheds some light as to what people think will help them achieve their business goals in 2008. What made the top of the list? Achieving a work-life balance!

We’ve become victims of our own success; often times forgetting about those people we share a house with — our family.

See How Easily You Can Handle Change
You know, we all have change in our lives. Most of us detest change, dread change, feel change is a real problem to deal with. I’m talking here about major changes.
But if you take a look at the major changes in your life over the last five years, up to about six months ago, you’ll probably see that since you’ve moved away from those changes, you can see that they were really beneficial.

If you’re thinking about going solo, either as a freelancer or consultant, or as a business owner in some other type of business, that’s great! I really believe there is a lot to be said for owning your own business and running your own show.
