#11. Strategies to Make Great Money Doing What You Love?/The New Wisdom in Wealth and Health Workshops
11. Take Time OFF! by Cari Vollmer
This is an absolute MUST; especially for creative types like entrepreneurs (we burn a lot of energy).
I learned this tip the hard way. Early on in my business I would burn the midnight oil often. I was so inspired by my new position as business owner I didn't know when to shut down my computer and relax. This caught up with me and I burned out!
My remedy? Every year at the beginning of the year I take out my big calendar and I block out my time OFF. And then I stick to it!
For me personally I have to take at least one week off every three months or I start feeling the effects of burn out. Sometimes I travel, sometimes I just stay home. My absolute rule during this time is that I disconnect from my business completely. No computer. No checking messages. No peeking!
The result has proven to me that you can take time off and still operate a thriving business that's bursting at the seams with potential! When I re-enter my career after being gone for a week I feel re-energized and full in inspiration!
You're not made to go go go. It's healthy and necessary to slow down and rebalance your SELF and your life.
