Advice For Business Owners: "Take A Break!"

===========================================================

If you don't work, you don't pay the bills. That's the reality

at all for the first few years. Of course, it's important to...

when you're running your own business. Some business owners,

especially in the early stages, work 24/7 and don't take a break

at all for the first few years. Of course, it's important to

honour commitments but it's also important to look after

ourselves so build in time off as soon as it's possible.

Otherwise working non-stop will become a habit that you can't

break.

It's been said, that if you do what you really love, you'll

never have to do another day's work. If we define 'work' as

doing unwelcome things for money, then yes, that's true. But

even if you are passionate about what you do and the hours just

melt away, you still need to recharge your batteries and allow

fresh ideas and energy to emerge.

How are you going to motivate staff and attract new customers if

you are edgy with fatigue?

How are you going to know whether to continue stocking this line

or providing that service if you don't take time to step back

and think about it?

Sometimes, external circumstances affect your business. Perhaps

you have served a local area that's now changing. Perhaps it's

easier for your customers to buy online. Services that you

offered may now be provided in-house. New regulations may impact

on what you do. Take time to look over the parapet, and you'll

be prepared to adapt.

So take that break, or reversing the well known saying: Don't

just do something, sit there!
