Time? Where is it when you need it? As a photographer and gift business owner, my busiest season typically runs from October - December. During those months I work hard at managing my time so that my sanity stays in check, but, unfortunately time management is not one of my better business attributes.

So, how do I TRY to keep in line with my time? By creating a timeline for the week and then adding to it each day as things come up. Each day I spend going down my list and checking off things that have been done. Seems simple enough right? But then there is the telephone with friends I have not talked to, my daughter who wants me to teach her to tell time..and RIGHT NOW…and then of course there is the ever present world wide web which may be holding the elusive secret to how to be an overnight success…if only I keep searching I know I can find that secret! I KNOW I CAN!!!!!!

Back to reality, there is no easy road to overnight success, your customers need your time, your family needs your time and YOU need time with your friends. Balance my friends, it is all about balance. My 2008 goal is to find that balance.

So, in an effort to find that balance, I would love to have others share how they manage it all. Can you really be a GREAT Mom…a GREAT and SUCCESSFUL business owner….a GIVING wife……a LOYAL friend…..and GOOD to yourself? Is there enough hours in the day to do it all?

I would LOVE to know!!!!!!
