Debbie LaChusa

I don't know about you,but I've always been a Type A personality ... a driver. When I want something I work my butt off to make it happen, often to the point of burn-out. Thankfully, I learned this lesson the hard way a few years back and I can now recognize the signs and stop myself before I reach the breaking point. Knowing this, one of my coaches recommended a book called "Do Less, Achieve More" by Chin-Ning Chu . It's a great little book that addresses this issue head-on. After reading it, and studying the Law of Attraction and the concept of Manifestation, I've come to realize that doing more does NOT always lead to achieving more. What it usually leads to is overwork and frustration.

I have learned that if I take the time to step back and take a break, and yes, do less, that I often do achieve more. In fact, I often joke with my business colleagues and friends that whenever I leave town or go on vacation, I tend to make more sales and have more new business opportunities come my way. I've come to realize that if I fill every waking moment I'm not leaving room for the universe to manifest success for me. I do admit that I am still a very hard worker. But I am beginning to realize that if I balance that hard work with time off, my perspective is healthier, I am happier, my business is more successful, and wonderful things start to happen that I could never have created on my own.
