I wrote a post on my EADD blog about taking time off from work - whether you are the owner or not. Here’s a small sample of questions people should be asking themselves:
If you have your own business, take a moment and answer this question - why did you start your business? Was it because you got tired of being told what to do? You wanted more freedom? I’m sure for many of you, those reasons were a part of the equation.
If you work for someone else, you can ask yourself a similar question - why did I go to work for the company I work for? I’ll bet that one of the reasons has to do with having more freedom in some form.
Ok, so here’s the deal - we entrepreneurs need to take time off in order to be refreshed, renewed, and re-charged. Without taking time away, even the most creative entrepreneur becomes stale. Without time off and away from the business, even the hardest working person becomes prone to accidents and mistakes.
Take time right now to determine when you will take some time off, even if it’s only a day. Spend time with your family, take a small trip, or just take a day and go to the park and read.
