We each have 24 hours in a day, in which we have to fit in eating, sleeping, exercise, working in and on our business, taking care of our family, and the other responsibilities we have in our lives. In every moment we have choices - staying present in the moment and working mindfully based on our values and goals, or tending to the fires that have to be put out throughout the day.

The Big Rocks
Stephen Covey’s "Big Rocks" story is pretty famous. He does an exercise in his presentations where he fills a clear container with big rocks, and then pours in pebbles and sand, which fills up all the spaces. When he tries to do the same thing with those same three materials but starts first with the sand and pebbles, the big rocks cannot fit.

Dear Savvy Doula,
I’m preparing to speak to some new business owners next week about my businesses. I was asked to share lessons I learned, and thought I’d share some of my insights with you.
As background, I started my first business with my husband — an asset liquidation company and office furniture store. We started in our home and now have two warehouses and about 25 employees. We started the company because my husband had been laid off, so we succeeded because this was our livelihood and we were determined to make it work. In some respects we were at the right place at the right time.

Dear Savvy Doula,
I am gearing up to start some online community building for birth professionals, and last week I was inspired. I hope that the resources and tips that I’ve shared so far has been of help to many of you, and I also hope that you will help me spread the word to your colleagues that Savvy Doula is here. I feel the need to expand the breadth of knowledge of running a small birth business, and the only way I see this happening is through combined brainpower.
