I love that feeling because it really is one of life&#8217;s natural highs.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe yin to that yang is usually the dissection of my business numbers from the previous year.  They annually send me into a funk and crush that new year energy to pulp.  Not so this January.  Without revealing all my biz-ness, I was much smarter last year than in any previous year of working at home.  This doesn&#8217;t mean I was pulling in huge profits, but my spending was mindful, my sales were the best they&#8217;ve ever been and my prospects to expand seem very good moving forward.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMy moment is realizing that I can learn from what the numbers reveal instead of wallowing in the negative.  The numbers can propel me forward instead of dragging me down.  The numbers can turn me into a <del datetime=\"2011-01-14T14:50:25+00:00\">perky cheerleader<\/del> positive force for my business.
