The last few years have changed our priorities and work-life balance is more important than ever.
It’s extra-tough if you’re a business owner who works long hours – so how can you reclaim some of your time?
It’s great to be the boss – you can work any hours you like, right?
Unfortunately, for many business owners, that means long hours, plenty of stress, and very few breaks and holidays.
A survey done by Statistics NZ found that:
After lockdowns and restrictions due to COVID-19, you might find yourself thinking about your priorities – at least, that’s been the case for a lot of business owners.
This year work-life balance overtook salary as the main consideration for job-seekers, in this survey.
Can you run your business effectively and still have enough time left over to do the things you love?
You’re the best judge of how much time your business needs, but don’t neglect your wellbeing.
If you would like to take back some personal time, you could consider:
If you really can’t work less right now, try to build your business with a better balance in mind for the future.
It’s important that you can step back at some point to take a holiday, travel, or spend time with family.
Being tied to your business for more than 60 hours each week isn’t a sustainable way to take care of your health and higher profits aren’t worth that sacrifice.
Also, any business that doesn’t allow the owner to step away is very hard to sell and worth far less than one that can run independently!
