Enjoy yourself!

Who had a win on the cup? I didn't that's for sure 😂😂

Remember to enjoy yourself...

My mates and I used to "brag" about who worked the longest, hardest, dirtiest days like it was a good thing.

Take a step back and remember you are the boss, and no one is forcing you to work 12 hour days.

So, finish early and pick the kids up from school, have a long weekend, go fishing, spend time with the family over Christmas, take the public holidays and have a punt on the cup.

In my opinion this is absolutely the best thing about having your own business and being the boss 😃😃

Think of the poor suckers stuck in an office from 9-5 every day and then having to ask permission to take time off or finish early.

Now I Brag to my mates about how much I didn't work!

It took me a long time, but I made my business work for me, I invested time and money, made goals and implemented my plans to make my business suit my lifestyle. And I'm pretty slack when it comes to these things.

In the last two years before I finished up and started this business full time (2018/2019) I had almost 30 weeks off and paid! I travelled up the east coast with my girlfriend for two weeks, went to Vietnam with my dad, boys trip to Darwin, back to Cairns and Sydney a couple of times, 8 day marlin fishing trip off Cooktown, 2 trips to Europe with my girlfriend and plenty of other weekend trips or days off.

And all this time my business was fine, it didn't fall apart without me, I had it all working to suit myself not my customers.

So, the next time you feel guilty or feel like you can't afford to take the time off, don't feel guilty but instead try to work out why.

Constantly improve the way you run your business until you get to the point where it is working for you and your lifestyle.

Most importantly enjoy yourself!!
