Over the next few months I’m going to have to decide whether I’m going to grow Big.Words.Scare.Me or keep it small, agile and completely flexible to my every whim. I’m wondering, as I will be again next month (and probably the month after that), if growth is the best thing for the business and for me?
I suppose what I really want to know is if growth, this way, is a necessity? Or is this type of growth, when applied to Big.Words.Scare.Me, just my ego talking?

Yeah, this is a tough one Nikki! Whichever you decide, I hope you will pursue it fully - I think it’s this exact decision that is the tough bit, but once you know then it makes the rest of the decisions so much easier. Good luck!

Thanks Darren. It is the decision that’s the difficult bit, but I think that’s true for most things.
Tom no kids … at least not quite yet.

We in the same space…and it’s no easy choice.
At the moment flexibility and convenience beats the corporate jungle hands down, but those little voices in my head are constantly questioning and prodding me about business growth.
In my case I am 100% certain it’s my ego. This does not make the choice any easier. Go figure.

The ego (or my ego) is a cunning devil. Very tricky indeed. Just when I think I’ve got it beat it jumps back to life.
I’m hoping that - one day - the answer to this conundrum will strike. Like lightning just less painful.
