Whether that\u2019s in the office, parked up in the car or even in bed. Everywhere is an office.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019re always working<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s not that you can\u2019t switch off, you simply don\u2019t want to. In your eyes, every moment not spent fully-invested in your business is a moment wasted. And if you wake up in the early hours of the morning with an idea, of course you\u2019re going to write it down. Who needs sleep anyway?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your company\u2019s logo is never out of sight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your company logo seems to follow you around like a shadow. From the branded coffee mug to the car window sticker to the branded mouse mat (who thought that was a good idea in this day and age?), you\u2019re always on brand.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What\u2019s a holiday?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taking even a single day out to relax doesn\u2019t cross your mind, let alone ever happen. There\u2019s way too much to be getting on with. Even if you were to spend a couple of weeks on a sunbed by a pool somewhere in the Mediterranean, your phone and laptop wouldn\u2019t be far away. Remember, it\u2019s important to recharge the batteries every now and then so don\u2019t forget to take some time out. You never know, turning your attention to something else for a little while might give you a new perspective. Your friends and family might appreciate it too.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019re well known in the local area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All the marketing and promotion of your business has seen you become something of a local celebrity. Everyone within a 5 mile radius must have your business card by now. Whatever your line of work, you\u2019re the port of call for everyone in your local area.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your wallet is bursting with business cards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite handing out plenty of business cards, you still have more than you could possibly know what to do with. Your wallet is bursting at the seams with business cards waiting to find a home, while the tower of spares on the corner of your desk could topple at any second.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019re always looking to grow your business<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your business has become your life and watching it grow makes all the hours you put in worthwhile.
