To work or not to work, that is the question

When I started the business, I had zero clients and nothing prepared, so working was easy. I knew what I needed to do, and the urgency to earn money was clear.

This week, on the verge of Christmas, I have been fortunate enough to gain several clients, and it appears like I have potential clients lined up for January, which is wonderful!

Except...

Now that the urgency is not as prevalent, I find myself less disciplined in ensuring I work enough hours in the day.

On the one hand, I am telling myself that the business is growing at a steady rate and that I do not need to be working a billion hours a day to feel productive, which is kind of the point, right? Surely I do not need to be 'grinding' every day, as the kids would put it, to ensure a successful business.

On the other hand, the ADHD gremlin in my mind tells me that if I don't work for hours every day, I'm wasting my time trying to set up a business. Yet, at the same time, it tempts me to spend the day playing Xbox.

On the other, other hand (how many hands do I have?), the reality of it is, the potential clients are not clients YET, so from a business perspective, the business is not in a place for me to take the foot off the pedal.

As with many things in life, it is about acknowledging your current situation and being able to create a balance between your personal life, professional life, and, in my case, the ADHD gremlin.
