Alright, Fire Nation. We\u2019re just going to get back into the Question and Answer swing of things with Kyla Kirkpatrick, the \u201cChampagne Dame\u201d from www.thechampagnedame.com. \u201cHey, John. My question is I\u2019m a very driven person and I\u2019m working on a new business which is really taking off. With any new business, there is so much to do. Particularly, not having a team to assist. But it is all blue sky with many avenues to explore. I am finding it incredibly hard to mentally switch off from thinking about my business and I find it hard to remove myself from my desk at the end of the day. Some days, I sit there till midnight and I get up at 5:00 a.m. to keep going. I hate taking a weekend off because it breaks my momentum. And because I\u2019m doing a job that I love, it\u2019s even harder. A good problem to have, I suppose, but it\u2019s wearing me out and I can see my family and friends are growing tired of my constant focus on work even though they are happy for me. So how do you switch off even when you are on a roll to take personal time and family time that does not have any focus or element of work? Many thanks, Kyla.\u201d
