As we grow, we often grow into the mindset that we have to work hard and we can’t take chances – or chase work from home dreams – because we have to be responsible, especially if we have a family to support.

Chaos is part of business and life, but perspective goes a long way. Not every problem or stumbling block is an emergency. —Ann Noder, CEO and founder of Pitch Public Relations.

Decision-making holds an inherent trap. We all want to make the right decision. But fear of making the wrong one can paralyze us into inaction. As Theodore Roosevelt famously said, “In any moment of a decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”. Sometimes, right and wrong decisions don’t exist.

I used to be a person who was terrified of ever dropping the ball. In the US, the term “drop the ball” has very negative connotations. It means you’ve failed to take action or failed to do something you were supposed to do. And by dropping the ball, you often end up disappointing the other people in your life. I used to feel it was very important to keep all of my balls constantly in the air, whether those balls were my job, my family or the responsibilities in the rest of my life.

As entrepreneurs, we often view other business owners as competitors. We think we need to outperform them, outsmart them and simply outdo them. We need the world to see that we are the best of the best or the cream of the crop. That mindset can be very flawed, and it has never worked for me. Instead, I have always chosen to come alongside other business owners—especially other women—to share ideas , converse and strategize.

Essentially, something has happened to you that renders you unable to work at a particular job as you once could. However, there are two different disability types: long-term and short-term. Long-term disability refers to situations where a person cannot recover from the injury or illness that has sidelined them from their current job.
