Why It’s Important That You Switch Off on Weekends as a Business Owner

Yes. We’ve been told that as soon as you start a business, it’s a 24/7 kinda deal. But…isn’t having time for yourself partially WHY you started your business in the first place? Maybe to spend time with your family and friends? To dabble in a bit of fun that you wouldn’t have been able to do if you worked for someone else?

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of working 7 days a week but it’s so important that you take a break - find that healthy work-life balance. Yes! We say this a lot…but we MEAN it. If you switch off, it’s likely that your clients will thank you. You’re fresh enough to dedicate your full attention to your clients on a Monday morning. You’re focused and relaxed. What business owner wouldn’t be happy that you’re in that mindset?

Switching off from work on weekends will also benefit your relationships with family and friends. Business owners often sacrifice personal time to focus on their work, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Spending that quality time with your loved ones will not leave you regretting that you did.

We’d like to encourage you to put your computer or laptop away. Put off those texts and emails until Monday morning. It CAN wait! Your clients will understand because it’s likely that they were in the same boat as you.

You’re human. Enjoy the freedom!
