Being my own boss has always been a goal. Flexible hours, having no one to answer to but myself and being able to work from just about anywhere. Only it doesn’t really work out like that. Being your own boss certainly has its perks, but it also comes with the realisation that you do, in fact, have people to answer to. Another potential work hazard is a poor work-life balance.

I’m going to make it clear right off the bat that I love Valentines day and do celebrate it in the traditional sense. In fact, when this post goes live I’ll be enjoying a romantic luxury Spa Break with my other half. I’m up for any excuse to celebrate love, show appreciation and well, a wine and dine.
