Finding the Balance Between Healthy Business and Happy Home
Trying to find the balance between a healthy business and a happy home life is one of the biggest challenges business owners face. This is especially true in the fi rst few years of your business, when your time commitment is so great, and your business is still developing its own routines and rhythms.When you’restarting, take a bit of time to fi gure out where you may want to draw the line.
Be prepared to make conscious choices about the trade-offs
or investments of time and energy you are willing to make to build your business.
It’s still about relationships: Feeling good about your life depends on
the strength of all your relationships – with customers, employees, partners,
family, friends and community. Consider how the time and financial
implications of running a business will affect the people in your life. Think
about how your business needs will infl uence your family, and how time with
your family will affect the business. If you live in a small community, prepare

residents and friends.
