But I’m not talking just aboutrepparttar friends and family members who literally let you cry on their shoulders. If you’re running a business, your support network needs to include some specialized professionals who know you and know what’s going on in your business.

A web host provider is one member of your support network. Choose someone who is small enough to know you and notice when something’s wrong, but large enough to do what you need done.

You may also need a lawyer, or an accountant, a web designer or a search engine optimizer (SEO).

No matter who’s in your support network, make sure they have your best interests in mind.

Building a support network is not always easy, but it will be rewarding inrepparttar 129479 long run.

Stephen R. Covey talks about “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” in his book of that title. One ofrepparttar things he talks about is balance, and how important that is. The other thing he talks about that really got my attention was effectiveness vs. efficiency. One involves dealing with people;repparttar 129476 other is really just time management.

Donald Trump is a very successful man. Whether he’s happy is something only he knows. And mayberepparttar 129477 young people trying to be his next Apprentice are happy. They are young, after all, and obviously dedicated.

What worries me about this show is that everyday people, people with lives outside of work, will start to feel guilty about those lives and to buy intorepparttar 129478 image of being totally dedicated to work. This can lead to overwork, depression, anxiety, even heart attack or stroke.

The Apprentice can be fun to watch. But I urge you to think seriously before rearranging your life to “be like Bill.”
