Mistake #5 - Not Having Enough Fun
This week, I chronicle the mistakes, missteps and muck ups that cost me big in 2007. Although I listed these in an article I wrote almost three years ago, it seems that I’m still repeating some of the same mistakes.
So, I’m listing the 5 mistakes that cost me big in 2007 and what lessons I learned. I’m releasing these daily to help you help me not repeat these in 2008.
Mistake, Misstep & Muck Up #5 - Not having enough fun
The new motto of my business is fun. I’ve updated my branding to reflect a fun atmosphere. More playful colours, the use of avatars and cartoon images and using relaxed language, all to show you that social media isn’t as intimidating as it sounds.
Despite this change, I didn’t take enough time to have fun in my personal life. There was little balance between my work life and personal life and hence, I was more stressed than I needed to be.
