When many of us started our own business, the idea "setting your own hours" was greatly appealing. Somehow, however, that concept mutated into "running from meeting to meeting all day and responding to e-mails at 2a.m." Followed, naturally, by mornings waking up to the shock of e-mails in your sent box that include multiple misspellings of the word "their" and delusional proposals that were grossly underpriced and logistically impossible. You're almost just relieved you didn't attach an inappropriate photo while you were at it.
Many of us keep this schedule up until we collapse into a state of total avoidance that includes watching eight straight hours of old 30 Rock episodes on Hulu. (Yes - that happens to more people than just you. Statistically, it happens to 1 in 5 small business owners. It’s raining down cold hard facts that I just made up in here.)

Fortunately for NACE members, our last meeting was at the beautiful Safety Harbor Resort & Spa. In addition to the generous door prizes they raffled off, they also offered complimentary massages, tips for healthy living, and discussed the importance of finding time for youself.
