I used alcohol to power up to try and do more. I even used alcohol to keep me going late into the night while programming a highly complex software product. Today I know this is ridiculous, but then I thought that was my solution to doing more. The reality was that not only was I abusing alcohol, I was not looking after myself. What do you need to do to recharge and look after yourself so that you can be the best entrepreneur you want to be?

Many entrepreneurs struggle to schedule and take time to recharge themselves. If this is you, please call me at +1 (604) 721-5732 or Contact Me so I can share with you on how I make looking after myself a priority so that I can better be there for my business.
