One aspect of freelance work that many people underestimate is the amazing number of things that can surface preventing you from working productively. Another is your own fears, bad habits, and neuroses staring you boldly in the face with fewer people to project blame upon (like your former co-workers, boss, customers).You are probably one of the millions of Americans who enjoy their professions and who actually do not mind working for someone else. Sure, the American Dream has always been to set out for yourself into the world of business, make a name for yourself with a product or service that only you have thought of, and then turn your life from rags to riches. Yet considering that many Americans have families, mortgages, and bills to pay, the number of people who manage to successfully quit their jobs and become self employed is small. Granted, many try it and quite a few have moderate successes. Yet by far greater is the number of people who will go through their life’s savings, and in the end Almost twenty years ago, when I first started my career as a freelance writer, I was earning very little money as a writer, and when friends would call to chat during my work time or ask me to go for a hike or out to lunch, I would often snap at them, "Don't you take my work seriously? Don't you take ME seriously? If I was working in an office, you wouldn't suggest this..." I honed a thorny edge that ripped at others when they dared call during writing time. Nobody knew why I got so wound up but I knew: even after I was a published author, I didn't take my creative work seriously. It seemed frivolous when compared to friends who made big business deals or cared for their children or took care of sick people. I was slightly ashamed, a bit abashed that I sat around reading and writing personal growth books -- so intangible! So soft. So girly. I chuckle now when I think of those years, and how I saw my work and my time. Clearly this all happened BL -- Before Lillian, my now pre-teen daughter. Her birth almost instantly taught me that ruthlessly choosing what to do with my time and energy was the only way I would ever survive the near constant crush between wanting and needing to be with her and wanting and needing to be creating and thinking. I've seen the same thing happen with women who care for aging parents or a dying friend -- no time for bulls**t anymore. If I continued to let pleasing others, shoulds, or trying to do too much shape my daily choices, I knew I would spontaneously combust. Poof!

Or your firm. Or your firm’s message. They’re getting along just fine without you. Until you give them a reason to think otherwise, it’ll continue that way. This isn’t news, though. That’s why you advertise and market. But so does every other business out there. What are the chances you’ll be noticed? Almost nil. Unless…Unless you cause a disruption.Unless you physically grab the hair on their heads and forcibly jerk them to notice how great you are. Okay, maybe contracting “marketing thugs” on street corners to assault people in the name of your message might get you in trouble (you’d get UNBELIEVABLE press though!).

But they seem to play to only one audience – the investment community or Wall Street. Any business is made up of workers, supervisors, managers and executives. They also have customers, suppliers and in many cases dealers or distributors. They have facilities in cities, towns and communities. Some have factories and others have only offices. But the fact is that all corporations touch the world they operate in beyond the narrow confines of where they raise money through investors – or Wall Street. So why do almost all corporations decisions revolve around how Wall Street will react? Are there alternatives?What is the problem?Most corporations ca Fierce and focused choosing when it comes to spending our most precious resources -- time and energy -- is perhaps the most essential self-care tool we have.

Poof!Quality logos are the foundation of marketing and promotional techniques for business. Among the characteristics associated with high quality logo design are uncluttered images and text, and minimal colors. The McDonald’s logo, “Golden Arches”, is a great example of an uncluttered logo that is simple, effective and widely recognized. Size is another characteristic which underlines the quality of a logo. Big or small, a quality logo has a matching background and distinct texture. The logo is included on all promotional material including business letterhead, presentation boxes, billboards and brochures.The major aim in any business is success. A good quality logo portrays the company’s image to a Fierce and focused choosing when it comes to spending our most precious resources -- time and energy -- is perhaps the most essential self-care tool we have.

Because being fierce and focused takes a whole lot of courage, a whole lot of awareness, and a tremendous amount of damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead verve. However, it can also become too much of a good thing, as in a controlling, over-scheduled, things-have-to-go-my-way attitude that can obliterate intimate relationships, cut off spontaneous aliveness, and sever you from grace. Too much fierceness can become a way to hide from life and all it's endless permutations and surprises, and you can become a dour pursed mouth control freak who hides behind self-importance. If you say yes only on your terms, life stops inviting you to play. What does healthy, open, soft fierce choosing look like? How do you walk the edge between standing up for your life and opening to life? Remember it's all about choice. This morning I was in my driveway holding the three blue plastic recycle bins when my neighbor drove by and stopped to chat. As the conversation went on, I found myself becoming angry that he didn't realize I was holding these bins and they were heavy. It was only when the conversation was finished and I was in the garage putting the bins away that it hit me: I had the choice to put them down! Silly story, but how often do we forget: we can always, always, always choose. Practice mindful listening or what I'm now calling intuitive organizing. Pause when someone asks you to do anything, take a breath into your center, and ask, "Is this how I choose to spend my time?" Listen for what your body says, your gut. The answer may be no, but you realize you are fulfilling a larger commitment -- for example, I'm not so keen on driving on field trips but it fulfills my larger commitment to being a mom who is connected to all aspects of her daughter's life.
