Hey Ali

I am currently an employee but this post really spoke to me. I definitely find that my work, plus my own site can suck the life out of me. I'm reading a lot of great things at the moment, including your post, which are really helping to change my mindset. So thank you

Thanks Barney. Glad you liked it. Your point about writing it down and having it in front of you all the time is spot on.It is so easy to lose sight of things. Great tip.

I know what you mean Christine. Those periods of transition can really let the business vampire out of the box! Hope your transition goes well.

Hi Ali. Great analogy – I love it! You are very true in what you say when describing the fact that we each are responsible for creating our own work “vampire”. This can be applied to any aspect of business or indeed personal life. I've found simply writing it down in black and white land sticking it on the board in my office helps to stay focused on whatever that vampire may be!

Enjoyed this post a lot, Ali.

I think at times my business can be a bit of a vampire, particularly as right now it's in transition (as I am) and I am still learning what does and doesn't work.
