I just got back from my impromptu vacation over July 4 and it was fabulous. Even though we didn’t do anything that exotic or different (went to Laughlin, Nevada, for a bit of gambling, then I hung around the house, had a massage and a pedicure) it was just the idea of being able to relax that made it so great. In fact, it was so refreshing I’ve decided to make it a point of taking regular breaks to refresh and rejuvenate myself.
If you’re an entrepreneur or small business owner, you MUST make the effort to take regular breaks. I know — as a recovering perfectionist/workaholic/superhero, believe me I know. But it’s not going to just happen. You won’t wake up with time off all of a sudden (or if you do, it will probably be because you suddenly ran out of clients because you were too exhausted to market yourself properly, which won’t be a good thing). Taking time off will only happen when you finally value taking time for YOU. More on this later.
