Entrepreneurs need to try and squeeze everything that they
can out of any given day, but they still need to try and keep some semblance of
balance. The good news is that achieving a work/life balance is possible for
entrepreneurs providing they follow a few simple tips.
You need to prioritize the main three areas that are of the
highest degree of importance to you and take the time to focus on them over the
weekend and during the week. Make good use of your mobile phone too; you can
take the dog for a walk and be sending emails at the same time, or send texts
while relaxing on the beach. You do not have to sit at your desk all day, every
day.
Entrepreneurs do not generally take long holidays, but
fitting in the occasional long weekend can be a good method of balancing out
your life. Be sure to have guidelines so that work does not overtake everything
else; stay away from your computer and shut off your phone during dinner time
and family time.
Make a positive impression every day at
your workplace
Often
the little things go a long way in impressing your boss and your co-workers.
Here are a few habits to cultivate if you want to polish your image to a bright
shine:
•
Keep your desk neat. Cut back on the clutter. A clean workspace shows that
you’re organized and have things under control.
• Be
sincere and generous with compliments. Show appreciation to co-workers (and
even your boss) for their good work.
• Do
your homework before meetings. Know what’s on the agenda and be ready to
discuss the topics being addressed.
•
Return phone calls and emails promptly. It makes co-workers and customers feel
valued.
• Be
on time. Don’t make others wait for you, or wonder where you are. Show up for
work, meetings, and other commitments promptly.
•
Wash the dishes. If your organization has a group kitchen, share the duties of
washing dishes, making coffee, cleaning up, and such.
