August is a quiet month for me this year. I have my own business as an executive coach and learning and development consultant. I LOVE what I do.
A big project 'crashed' this month so I am home--this means no money coming in and no client work. This could not have happened at a more inopportune time. At first, I was upset but started to look at all the positives that could come of this:
- I finally can get to the gym/walk every day. Travelling takes it toll on my workouts.
- I will have better control over what I eat. No client sponsored lunches and dinners. These tend to be heavy on the kind of food that is delicious and devastating.
- I can get done with my business what I never have time for like finally getting a website up and networking with people that I have wanted to reconnect with for a very long time.
- Projects will get done, systems will get up graded and some good books will be read
- Gleeful obsessiveness with the Olympics will happen.
So, while this means a hit for me financially in the immediate, in the long run it has the potential for better projects and I can feel on top of my business.
This is all in what I tell myself--this can be a bad month or a good one. I think it will be good.
