Do You Have a Pinched Nerve

When it Rains it Pours

Or at least it does for me in Vietnam. I was just getting over bronchial pneumonia and starting to hit my straps 'workwise" again......When, yep, you guessed it.

I was lying down on our "wooden" Vietnamese deathtrap mockingly called a sofa when I realized I had a bit of a sore back.

Fast forward to 3.30 am when I woke hollering and cussing because, as I thought at the time, someone was stabbing my knees with a knife.

I quickly tried to remember if it was my wife's birthday or our anniversary. But I remembered I had forgotten both of those some time ago, so it must be PAIN. And freaking painful it was.

Now the good thing about Vietnam is you can always get heavy-duty drugs at most times of the day, so off my wife went to her favorite "pusher", the local chemist.

After I got dosed up I started to compare the analogies between a pinched nerve in our bodies to a pinched nerve in business.

Business Pinched Nerves

Sometimes it is the smallest actions that lead to the biggest pain in business. By forgetting to do one thing or deliberately choosing not to do it, we may be setting ourselves out on a painful business journey. E.G. Not following or completing the training here at Wealthy Affiliate. Or not regularly posting to social media...etc, etc.

There are so many things we need to do to make our business successful, yet I know, that often we tend to neglect what we don't want to do. Then we complain we aren't making money. I know this as a fact because I am as guilty as everyone else.

However. because I found my wife is hoarding knives under the bed, I am tackling those little problems that on the surface seem insignificant but may lead to a business-pinched nerve.

(The funniest things can lead to motivation).

'Unkink" your business pinched nerves. And if you are like me, you know what they are. It may be the smallest things are stopping you from achieving your goals.
