What does your business math allow for in your personal life? It's been the perfect summer vacation week here in midcoast Maine, and in between the rounds of swimming, evening sauna, farmers' markets, fresh food prep, etc., I've been thinking... Do you know the math you need to take a month away from your business? Or how to be sure you can check out on that long-awaited trip to Verona?

What to do when the spark is gone...Have you ever lost that special feeling with a client? Things start out all rosy and wonderful and then… over time…you feel the enthusiasm waning. And fast.
