Invest in #1

A broken foot has laid me up. Luckily a lot of my business can be done sitting down. However, the challenge of slowing down has opened another door: to be able to invest in myself for a few weeks.

It's not often small business owners get the chance to look at what they could learn, and then be forced to take the time to learn it. But it's something we all should do more.

What you can learn:

1. Things can happen in your business if you're not there. Your staff will love taking the reigns. So leave them to it.

2. There are things to learn. Any time you spend improving your knowledge or your investing in yourself, is time well spent.

3. Systems are important. By putting procedures in place in your business, you'll be able to take time out without the sky falling.

This week, I've dragged out the inspirational books and CDs. I'm revved up and ready to go with lots of bright ideas for my business!

Try it.
