the weekends. Get out and about It's easy to get cabin fever when you work from home, so turn your business into a virtual or remote one, so you can work wherever you like. Ensure you can work on your laptop and access your files from anywhere. This means you can tap into the WiFi at your local coffee shop or even go on a short break and continue to work. Make the most of being your own boss and have a better work/life balance. Be impeccable with your word No matter where you are, what you're doing or who you meet, always be impeccable with your word. Never bitch, slander or moan about anything or anyone. Those poisoned words or angry rants might make you feel better in the short term but they'll only make you feel worse once the emotion has subsided. Saying and doing nice things makes you happy - it's a fact, so really think about what you say to people in business. Don't make assumptions Most of life's miseries come from making assumptions about other people. For example, that client you know who drove past you the other day and didn't wave back? They weren't ignoring you - they just didn't see you! Or that fellow freelancer who was supposed to call and never did - it's not because you did something wrong! You'll no doubt torture yourself over all sorts of assumptions like these. Stop it! Everyone is dancing to their own music and
