Sometimes You Just Have to Step Away
by Stuart Livesey
Ok, so we’ve been away from this blog but now we’re back. The week before last we spent preparing for a visit from one of our daughters. That’s not as terrible as it may sound … we actually spent that week getting a lot of work done so that we could spend time with her and we certainly achieved that goal.
For a variety of reasons we haven’t seen Adrienne in about three years and so we knew that there was going to be a lot of catching up to do and we were so right. Adrienne was with us for a week and about the only time we weren’t talking during that whole week was when we were asleep.
Sometimes you just have to step away from your small business to focus on your family and last week was one of those times for us. We all had a blast and now that Adrienne has gone and we’re back into the work thing we’ve found that we’re refreshed and already achieving much more than we were before she came.
I even rebuilt our small business copywriting and web design site yesterday. We hadn’t touched it in years and it was a constant source of embarrassment … but now it’s been spruced up and reflects our web design philosophy.
We also finished a site for the best cafe in Hervey Bay in the week before Adrienne arrived.
And the really scary part about Adrienne’s visit was that when we talked business we understood each other perfectly. She’s a Unix Systems Engineer and we understood what she was talking about. She also has a knack for marketing so she understood us too
