Just when I was hoping to make a commitment to my blogging, I find myself totally struck down by the flu. 10 days of illness, including 5+ days of high fever and delirium.

I have to admit that one of the themes that kept rising to the surface was deep gratitude for Heart of Business. The business has enough momentum that I knew we weren’t doomed financially, even though more than a week of productivity was completely lost.

Of course, we did lose some major momentum- we were leading up to the early-bird deadline for The Sacred Moment Seminar here in Portland March 13-14. But, that’s easily fixed: we’re extending the early-bird deadline, and doing all the promotions we were going to do last week, over the next 5-7 days or so.

I’m also grateful because we had our assistant in place to help.

I guess the main question I want to ask you is: how much ‘chaos factor’ do you build into your business capacity? Are you always going at 100%, so that if any little thing goes wrong everything goes off track?

Or are you planning at 80% capacity or less, so there’s room for mistakes, miracles, and other chaos?
