Making Stress Work For You

November 13, 2008

I’ve been really stressed lately, both on a personal and professional level. My business is going well, for the most part, but that success brings with it all sorts of new worries and more than a little work. One thing I was always told when starting my business what that I needed to be prepared for when things go well. It’s advice I’m glad I took to heart. Over the last few years we’ve had plenty of ups and downs and through it all I’ve learned how to embrace my work-related stress and put that stress to work for me. I’m not exactly glad to have it, but I do see it as a great motivator and something that keeps me going.

Happy Masochist is a straight forward and light-hearted look at owning, running and living with a small design business.

About Me (D. Keith Robinson)

I’ve owned my small business, Seattle-based design agency Blue Flavor, since the Fall of 2005. In that time I've learned quite a bit about running a business and made more than my share of mistakes. I talk about all of that and more here at Happy Masochist. Grab the RSS feed.
