Learn to balance work and play….learn to take time for yourself!

What do they say?

All work and no play….

An apple a day keeps the doctor away… All Play and no work?

What ever it is, this weeks tip really has to do with making sure you take the time to balance work and play for being successful in ANY business.

I am on vacation this week so it has reminded me to tell you all to take sometime off too! I have found especially when you are working at selling and activating sponsorship, you are making and creating programs, and it’s easy for you to literally get caught up in all the excitement.

Whether you are selling or fulfilling a contract usually you are still going to be entertaining clients at events and you will have a tendency to forget you are still working, even though sometimes it feels like you’re playing. You could work 24 hours a day, and then try negotiate for more time because you aren’t finished your day!

 If you are like me, it’s even tougher because I am one of those people that has found something in my life that I love SO much that doesn’t feel like work.  But even with that being said, it is good to divert your attention to try something entirely different, something new.

I have always found when I take some time away from the office it helps me to bring a fresh set of eyes to my work when I go back. Sometimes we can be in a creative rut and not even know it. Do yourself a favour and take some time off and when you get back you will find you have an entirely new perspective on your work.  So I am relaxing and taking a week to myself to do nothing but try some new things and enjoy those closest to me and the beautiful weather, I hope you get some time to enjoy this summer and take time for yourself!
