The Impact of Overworking: Succeeding in Small Business without Sacrificing Family

The Cashflow Lifestyle Show - Small Business Finance, Lifestyle Business Success & Financial Freedom

In this episode of The Entrepreneur Journey, Susan Crichton explores the drawbacks of overworking and how prioritising a balanced and healthy life can lead to both personal and professional growth. Listen in to discover how giving your mind time to rest can actually lead to increased creativity, and how being a C plus student sometimes can be the key to achieving long-term success and satisfaction.

Below are the key takeaways from this episode:

• It's important to prioritise family over work, as family members are the only ones who will remember late work.
• Overworking can hinder creativity, which is relevant for entrepreneurs and their pursuit of success.
• Breaking the habit of perfectionism may involve setting enough goals and using appropriate effort.
• Practicing setting limits on something outside of work, such as exercise, can help improve the skill of setting limits in general.
• Acknowledging if the outcome is good enough for clients and oneself is crucial to achieving a balanced and healthy life.

"Know that it's okay to do some things less well in order to have the complete and healthy life you want. And your family will thank you for it.”
