Hi Gaye, I feel better already...must be I was holding my breath! ;-)

A relaxed approach to business means you can see clearly and frantic means missing what might be in front of you.  Nice post...Have a Great 2009!

Hi Gaye, I too have slowed down and am enjoying life much more this way.  I didn't realize so many things I had been missing.

I am still searching for that balance. In truth I don't know how to work calmly. It's probably just a personality thing.

Great post. If you have a passion for what you do you seem to be a bit more relaxed. It took me years to slow down a tiny bit. Guess what? I do more business because of it.

Good topic Gaye. I used to work like there was no tomorrow. But, now I've learned to keep a balance with my work life and personal life. Much better way to be.

Very good blog.  You hit the nail on the head!  With a great attitude you will always succeed and enjoy yourself as well. 

 I needed to hear that. I've reached the point where I'm  torn between finishing my dinner or taking that phone call and the  potential appointment. You're right-we need to RELAX! Great advice, Gaye, at the right time, thanks.......

And you know something? As the saying goes, you do" practice what you preach" because I've NEVER seen you look anything but calm and in control, never stressed. That's a great accomplishment.
