Day in the Life...
Day in the Life… Cally Law
At 6am every morning I am woken up by my alarm. The first thing I do is check my emails on my iPad and check for twitter updates. As many of our readers will already know, my dogs are a huge part of my life, so the next part of my day (its usually around 7am by now) I throw on my dog walking coat and boots and head off down the fields with my two gorgeous doggies. This is one of the best parts of my day ‐ it gives me a chance to think about the day ahead, what I need to do and how I am going to fit it all in!

Most days, I have meetings throughout the day with various different contacts. Today I have two meetings; one at 10am with the judges of the local business awards. I have recently found out that I am in final for Young Entrepreneur of the Year, so they will be visiting today. I then have my next meeting at 3pm with our APP developers – our APP will be live within the next few weeks, which we are really excited about!
I usually try and escape the office at around lunchtime to Costa for a well earned coffee with our Sales Manager Holly. This gives us a chance to catch up outside of the office about the goings on during the day in the sales department. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to enjoy this break everyday, but I do try to as much as I can. I used to work 18‐20 hour solid days with no breaks, but very quickly I got tired and found I wasn’t working to my full potential. I learnt
