How to grow your business and have a life

We don’t have to tell you how hard it is to run a business. You’re in the trenches. However, we can provide you some options that will allow you to focus on growing your business while enjoying the results of your hard work. What is the point of working hard if you can’t also play hard?

Business success is top of mind

Let’s start with growing your business. Enjoying your success starts with achieving success. Business growth is on the minds of most business owners in 2024. According to Guidant Financial*, 24% of business owners plan on increasing their staff while 17% are looking to expand or remodel their business.

While inflation and price increases are major challenges for small businesses, 77% of owners said they were confident in their ability to endure, showing their entrepreneurial spirit.

Is work life balance possible?

Growth and success are the goal for any business, but when the demands of the business don’t allow for much else, it can get daunting. Your plate is full. The idea of adding more to it can be challenging. Small business owners work twice as much as everyday employees. Twenty five percent of owners report working more than 60 hours a week, according to a New York Enterprise Report.

All that hard work helps keep your business afloat, but it also can lead to burnout. Many business owners report that their work/life balance is worse than it was before the pandemic. However, there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
