6 Days to Christmas....

WOW....where did this year go? 2016 has been quite a rollercoaster, with it's up's and downs with work, family, weight and exercise goals, work being done around the house etc. but when I look back all the stress, mess and expense was worth it. A few things I would have chosen to do differently but we learn from those things. One of my best decision's would most certainly be that I left my part time job as a nutritional chef at a local private Health & Fitness club and decided to run my MLM company from home full time. Deep down I wish I was in a position to be able to do this earlier in the year so I could have spent more time with the family at weekends but I'm just grateful it happened at all.

Set a goal, come up with a plan and work towards it. For a long time I struggled but once my mindset was shifted and I actually got serious and became intentional in what I was going to do things started to shift too. I have now been self employed for two months and the growth has been steady and at a nice pace. I have spent every weekend for the last two months with my family, for a whole year I was not present and it certainly had an affect on our relationships. The Christmas shopping was done on time...which is a huge achievement for me. No rushing around and taking in this season, with time to reflect on what is important in life and to me!

In the coming year I look forward to meeting and speaking to many mum's who are in the position I was in. Working, running a family and caught up in the busyness of what life can throw at you. I would love to be able to offer and serve those special women who seem to be "doing it all" and offer them a way that is different. It certainly is not for everyone but I'm certain working from home is for a lot more of us. It's not an easier way to provide for our families but I have discovered it is a much better way with the same results and often exceeds my expectations and goals.

So from all of us in The Bonfield household we pray you have an awesome Christmas and over this meaningful season you start to decide and dream and set goals again of where you want to be this time next year. Have a blessed Christmas.
