Maintain work-life balance and grow your business

It can be complicated to strike a work-life balance while growing your business. Even in your downtime, it can be challenging to find time for you! Whether it’s spending more time with your family and friends, or re-visiting your love of gardening, finding balance when having your own business can be tricky!

Here are our favourite approaches to maintaining work-life balance and ensuring you’re making time for what’s important to you, even while growing your business.

1. Set a stop time each day

It can be easy to keep working when you’re your own boss, but this is one of the quickest ways those of us who are trying to grow our business can burn out. Determining a firm stop time each day means that you’ll work hard during the time you’ve allotted yourself, and finish before dinner with your family.

2. Spend time with family and friends each week

Making time to be present and nourish your relationships with those closest to you even during the busiest times will ensure you don’t lose connection with those most important to you.

3. Consider using automation tools

These platforms and tools can help free up some of your time during periods of extreme growth in your business. This will allow you to focus your energy on other areas that really need your attention or will allow for more growth. For example, you might consider hiring a virtual assistant. Some of these tools might not be free, but they will be investments into your business.

4. Focus on what matters most

Oftentimes people who are working on growing their own business are spending time during their day on tasks that may take up a lot of time, but that are less impactful to their business. Planning your day in advance can help keep you focused on what really matters and stay on track — ensuring energy and time don’t go wasted on tasks that aren’t actually important.

5. Take time off

It may seem counterintuitive to take time off when you’re trying to grow your business, but in the long run, taking regular time off will ensure that you don’t burn out and are able to keep a work-life balance even during periods of extreme growth!
