About this episode
I heard a saying that "Life happens when you're planning on doing something else!"
And when you're self-employed it can have a huge impact on your ability to get stuff done.
The challenge for many people is to avoid giving yourself a hard time when your business activity is derailed by life.
So, a few things to bear in mind are:
Accept that "stuff happens" and that it happens to everyone
Look for the opportunity to get something done, even if it's small
Do your best to make the best of your situation
Talk to someone if your mindset is going down a dark path
