After been a CFO for almost 10 years with little time to think and a lot of pressure to take decisions and unfruitfull meetings, I’ve founded my business in the end of 2014.

I’ve created it to solve a problem that I’d identified since I started working in the health care industry. Today when I am not meeting with clients and prospects and trying to develop partnerships, I am thinking how to grow my company and make what it does, better. And I enjoy it, a lot!

But I’ll get your tip and use mondays to better plan my week. And I’ll go out of office or out of home to take my time somewhere inspiring. I fell guilty. Now there’s too much time to think and just a few clients to attend. The time we think is not payed as the one we service costumers, but thinking time is an investment, right?

How can I balance that? How can I drive my energy to think creatively in one day and not wake up in the middle of the night, almost every night of the week?

Brian, when your company was in an early stage, how did you managed that?
