I was recently visiting a blog 37 Days to Live where the author spoke of what you would do if you only had 37 days to live. It took me no time to reflect on this as my answer was quite simple; I would spend as much time with my husband and my children enjoying life as I could. I would certainly not be worrying about what would happen to my business and thanks to the preparations I have put in place including setting up my manual I would not have to worry about what happened to my business.

In business, just as in life, we are subject to the three phases of life: birth, growth and death. So, bottom line, if we are not growing you must be dying. What things have you put in place for your business to make sure that it never dies? If you knew you only had 37 days to live, would those days be spent worrying about your business and what would happen to it once you were gone? Would you care? Is there a legacy that you are trying to leave for someone else? You have worked very hard to give your business birth and to allow it to grow and prosper to where it is today so what exactly have you done to prevent it’s death and to truly create a thriving business?
