#206: Do You Really Want to Do That?

At the end of the growing season, we are tired and sometimes, a little desperate. Making value-added products, particularly around the holidays, can seem like a great option. But in our efforts to create more cash flow, sometimes we end up spending even more time and money. It can rob us of time, morale, and the opportunities we need to attend to the unsung pieces of life and business: relationships, self-care, business planning, and building our knowledge base. Let's think about and evaluate what else we could or should be doing during this time.
