MoneyMinding Monitor

MoneyMinding is an incorporated, international company with several employees and contractors, and with hundreds of clients and “Certified MoneyMinding Advisors” – and it’s still operating from my home office after several years.

Avoiding burnout is an understatement:  it’s easy to blur the boundaries between work and home when the office is right below your bedroom.    I’ve responded to emails at 3 in the morning, and done business deals in my housecoat.  What keeps me going, even when growing the business seems to take more hours in a day than a person can stay awake for, is the following:

• Clear vision of where we’re going and the purpose for the work and involvement in this vision by the family
• An open door policy for family.  I will always take phone calls from them and answer and homework questions or take time for a midday mom-daughter talk
• Asking for help (employees, investors, mentors, peers, friends, and my very supportive husband)
• Healthy living where possible (a good lunch, water jug on my desk, exercise in the evening, involvement with the church)
• And, a mid-day play with the dog always helps too.
