In today's episode, Anna looks at why it's so important to take proper time off in your day, in your week, and your year, even as an early-stage entrepreneur.
It's very easy to tell yourself, and I did that in the early days of my business, "Oh, yeah, I'm working all the time, but I don't mind. I just love it so much." And you know what? Yes, it's amazing that you're working on creating something that you're so passionate about, but that doesn't mean, of course, it's the only thing that matters. And I know you know this, but it bears reminding. It's just something we tend to forget in the day-to-day hustle. So it's not good for anybody, for you, for your business, for your friends and family if you blur those boundaries so much, that you're always on. So, again, taking care of you is taking care of your business. Taking time off can also, by the way, give you new ideas. You can come back feeling inspired and energised, you have a new type of clarity of thinking. And bear in mind, I'm pretty sure this is the reason why you started your business in the first place. So you need to learn how to switch off, and take proper time off - during your day, your week, and your year.
