Quiet Confidence With Dr Tess Crawley

I’ve got a question for you: Who’s business are you actually minding? If you are overly focussed on what others are doing, you can’t possibly have enough attention for what is going on right in front of your face ... i.e., in your own business. It is fine to keep an eye on the market. It is fine to keep an eye on current trends. It is absolutely fine to make sure you stay current and relevant. But really? Is that what you’re doing? Or are you just being a nosy parker? Or a gossip? Or jealous? Or judgmental? I ask you this because it is something I have wrestled with from time to time. So these days I try to remember to ask myself ... Tess, (I said love, I said pet), what is your motivation here? I love a good chat as much as the next person. But I know when I’m not acting within my values (Dignity First, Last, and Always), so if I catch myself being a Mrs Sharples (google it if you’re not as old as me!) I back off and give myself a reminder of where my focus (and my nose) should be. In my own business. Besi
