You are not alone!

Perhaps one of the most challenging things about being in business for yourself, is the feeling that happens all too often, namely that you are on your own. Even if you're running a company with 10 or 20 employees, you still may be in a position where you can't talk to anyone about some of the issues in your day-to-day operations.  without even releasing information to people you would rather not tell, or that in fact the person you are talking to does not have enough understanding of what it means to be an entrepreneur to give you good advice.

At HighSpin, we are acutely aware of how that feeling of isolation can work against you. We have felt it ourselves, and many of our consulting clients come to us asking for ways to get advice and support that is both trustworthy and confidential.

On the following pages, you will find a wide range of websites and other information sources that will help provide you with ways of finding a person-to-person advice and support.

There are two main sections in this part of the website. One is dedicated to providing you with this business connections, to the government, business associations and other resource places.

The section on social resources is designed to give you links to places and organisations who can take care of the personal self. While business advice is always very important, working yourself to death in an enterprise helps neither your shareholders, your employees, your family or yourself. Over 30 years of reading and research, we have found many good ways of taking care of yourself. Eating the right foods, physical exercise, keeping the mind active and having is virtual aspect to your life are key elements in keeping you healthy and focused and productive in your business. There is lots of evidence that working like a madman even 12 hours a day or more does not make you productive, in fact it makes you less efficient and effective. So please take a look at the resources supplied and see if there are ways in which you can strengthen and refresh yourself.
