One was from a guy with an agency of offshore writers pitching me on using his team. Dozens by the handful, coming from new connections I’d recently accepted. I scrolled down and started to read the dozens of messages I’d been sent the week prior from all kinds of people.

I decided to hop on over and check out my inbox for messages. So there I was on a Saturday, browsing LinkedIn and using the Recruiter platform to talk to candidates I was interviewing, with my four-year-old cuddled beside me on the couch watching Netflix. To say I was busy would be an understatement! Plus, I had just been invited for no less than four speaking engagements in the next two months. I helped our clients get their content on time, wrote and edited, alongside training my new team managers and still staying on top of all my marketing campaigns and day-to-day tasks. So, I had no choice but to pull an 80-hour work week re-assembling everything, jumping in and doing extra tasks to get my business back up and strong. Our team director had resigned the weekend before, suddenly and without warning. That particular week had been quite the doozy. You know what that means - sometimes, we work on weekends. Now, I try not to open my laptop much on weekends, but I’m an entrepreneur. I was browsing LinkedIn while wrapping up some work.
